- 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.
Thousands of people gathered in Saint-Louis, Senegal, for the annual pirogue regattas. The event is a cultural and sporting tradition that is nearly two centuries old. In the fishing district of Guet Ndar, rowers compete in a 3.5 km race. While the event is a popular success that generates income, participants are not paid and are demanding compensation.
