- 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.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is acquiring MHP, the IT consultancy arm of Porsche, for Rs 3,575 crore. The transaction includes a five year strategic partnership deal valued at $1.46 billion. MHP, which is headquartered in Ludwigsburg and employs approximately 4,500 people globally, provides industrial transformation consulting to clients in the automotive, defense, and aerospace sectors. The company reported a 10.4 percent revenue decline in 2025 to 743 million euros, though it remained profitable.
Porsche is selling the unit as part of a broader strategic realignment to focus on its core business of producing sports cars. This shift includes the closure of other non-core ventures, such as the Cellforce battery business and subsidiaries Porsche E-Bike Performance and Cetitec. Porsche intends to remain a customer of MHP to leverage its expertise. Additionally, reports indicate that Porsche may be in advanced negotiations to acquire the tuning specialist RUF to further its goal of expanding high-priced, customized sports car offerings.
