- 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.

U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Michelle Steel met with Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back on Thursday. This marked her first meeting with the top South Korean defense chief since she assumed her post in late July. Steel arrived at the defense ministry headquarters in Yongsan accompanied by U.S. Forces Korea Commander Gen. Xavier Brunson. The two officials were expected to discuss key alliance issues, including the ongoing efforts by Seoul to regain wartime operational control from the United States. This meeting follows separate discussions Steel held last month with Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan.
