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.

Every source for this story reports from South Korea.
South Korea and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) have signed a statement of intent to cooperate on mine clearance. According to the defense ministry, the agreement involves sharing operational experience and expertise in mine removal to enhance public safety through global standards. This partnership follows the passage of South Korea's Mine Action Act and a long term landmine policy roadmap. The ministry stated that Seoul is shifting its approach to landmine clearance from a strictly military operation toward a broader effort focused on land recovery and public safety. Under the agreement, the two parties will engage in regular dialogue on implementation measures and exchange knowledge on mine action. They also plan to explore opportunities to participate in international workshops regarding global mine action initiatives.
