- 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.
Every source for this story reports from South Korea.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that South Korea, Japan, and other nations are going to Alaska to load up with oil and build pipelines. Trump made these comments during a press availability at the White House while expressing support for Senator Dan Sullivan, a Republican from Alaska who is seeking reelection in the November midterm elections.
Trump claimed that no one has helped Alaska as he has, asserting that his administration has invested billions of dollars and created trillions of dollars in value. He praised Senator Sullivan's work and mentioned his own plans to visit Alaska to support Republican candidates.
The remarks come as the Trump administration seeks cooperation from Japan, South Korea, and other countries for an Alaska liquefied natural gas project. This project involves the construction of a 1,287 kilometer pipeline from the North Slope to southern Alaska to transport natural gas, which will be cooled into liquid form for shipment to Asia.
