- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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.

The Supreme Court announced the launch of "Jan Soochna Seva" on Monday, September 14, 2026, to coincide with Hindi Diwas. This new public information service will provide simplified Hindi summaries of selected significant judgments and orders. The service will also include audio and video bulletins lasting approximately 15 to 30 minutes to explain key rulings and their implications.
According to a press statement, the initiative aims to make access to justice more inclusive for ordinary citizens, litigants, and persons with disabilities who may struggle to comprehend lengthy legal documents. The service will initially be available in Hindi, but the court plans to extend it to other Indian languages in a phased manner to reach citizens across diverse linguistic regions.
While both reports agree on the functional details of the service, they emphasize different aspects of its purpose. The center-left source frames the initiative as a means to make justice more inclusive and to link the respect for Indian languages with the dissemination of judicial information. The center-right source focuses on the practical accessibility of the information, noting that summaries will include links to the original official judgments.

- Centre-right
