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.

Every source for this story reports from South Korea.

The South Korean foreign ministry imposed a Level 4 travel ban on parts of Pakistan on Monday. This action follows a surge in violence linked to coordinated separatist attacks. The ban, which is the highest level of the country's four tier travel warning system, takes effect at 11 p.m. in the southwestern province of Balochistan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that parts of the province are also subject to a travel ban imposed by the Pakistani government. Under the law, individuals who visit or stay in areas under the highest level travel ban without special permission can be punished. The ministry urged those residing in the region to evacuate and those planning to visit to cancel their trips.
