- 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.

Typhoon Dolphin has struck China's east coast, bringing strong winds, torrential rain, and flooding. The remnants of the storm are now moving north toward Beijing, where the city is bracing for rainfall that could reach one third of its annual total within 24 hours. In response to the threat, sandbags have been deployed in Beijing subways. The storm has caused landslides and is described as the most powerful tropical cyclone to hit China this year. While center outlets focus on the immediate weather reports, center left outlets frame the event as a consequence of climate change.
