- 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 outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Ukrainian attacks on the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk have forced two major grain terminals to halt operations and resulted in three deaths, including a child. Grain futures spiked on Wednesday following the strikes. Ukraine has escalated its summer campaign against Russian economic infrastructure that it claims supports Moscow's military efforts. Russia is currently the world's largest wheat exporter. Simultaneously, Ukrainian agriculture ministry data shows that Russian strikes on Black Sea ships have reduced Ukrainian grain shipments by 76 percent in the first two weeks of August compared to last year. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that these attacks on agricultural infrastructure are increasing global food prices and exacerbating shortages, which she claimed serves the interests of certain Western nations and burdens the Global South and East.
