- 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.

US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor conducted a two day visit to Imphal, Manipur, on Friday, September 11, 2026. During the trip, Gor met with Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh and Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla to discuss US and India engagement. In his meeting with the Chief Minister, Gor stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump share a special bond that goes beyond a normal Prime Minister and President relationship. He also expressed approval of the Prime Minister's focus on the development of the northeastern region.
Chief Minister Singh highlighted tourism and allied sectors as potential areas for development and cooperation, and he invited the Ambassador to the Manipur Sangai Festival. Gor's itinerary included visits to the Ema Keithel all women market and Kangla Fort. The visit occurred as India prepares to host the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi from September 12 to 13.
Reporting on the event differed in focus based on political lean. A center leaning source framed the visit as a significant diplomatic engagement occurring amidst a humanitarian crisis stemming from ethnic conflict in the state. A center left leaning source focused more on the diplomatic rhetoric regarding the relationship between President Trump and Prime Minister Modi.
