  • 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.

The US State Department and the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations called for the unconditional release of Myanmar's detained former leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. The call for her release also extended to other political prisoners.

How each side framed it
