- 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 British Labour government is preparing to implement economic measures and a trade ban targeting Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Polling suggests that one in two Britons support the anticipated ban on trade with these settlements. While the center leaning source presents the move as a reflection of public opinion, the left leaning source describes the measures as unprecedented and biting sanctions against Israel. The left leaning report further notes that the situation will test the British Jewish community regarding their solidarity with Israel versus the actions of its leadership.
