Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Senegal welcomed the Olympic flame in Dakar on Saturday during a ceremony marking the first Olympic event organized on the African continent. The arrival occurs seven weeks before the start of the Youth Olympic Games.
