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.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff reported that warning shots were fired after North Korean soldiers crossed the military demarcation line. According to Yonhap, this incident marks the first reported violation of the line by North Korea this year.
