- 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.
The United States is commemorating the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks, in which Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four planes and killed 2,977 people. The victims died when planes crashed into the Twin Towers in Manhattan, the Pentagon, and a site in rural Pennsylvania. To honor the deceased, families and responders used 2,977 drones to recreate the Twin Towers in light over the New York Harbor. Various reports highlight the lasting impact of the event, including the experiences of the Muslim community and the role of Saudi Arabia. Some coverage focuses on the long term reverberations of the attacks, while other reports examine the accomplishments and lessons learned from the subsequent war on terror.
