- 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.

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari led the Gerua Samman Yatra on Wednesday, a march from Golpark to the gates of Jadavpur University, where he vowed to uproot those raising slogans such as Kashmir Mange Azadi and Lal Salam to Maoist Kishenji. Adhikari, dressed in saffron, addressed a gathering of BJP workers, monks, and MLAs, stating that he would not tolerate insults to the saffron color or the nation. He announced plans to return to the university to recite the Gita and the Hanuman Chalisa, and he called for a three day Vedic recital programme.
The mobilization occurs amid an ideological conflict at the university between Left wing student groups and the RSS affiliated ABVP. Adhikari had previously called for an inquiry into anti national graffiti and posters that appeared on campus following clashes between these groups. In a separate development, Jadavpur University removed Acting Registrar Selim Baksh Mondal and appointed Debjit Dutta as the interim Registrar, while Indrajit Bandyopadhyay was named Acting Finance Officer.
Reporting on the event, a center lean outlet focused on the specific slogans targeted and the Chief Minister's description of the university as a center of excellence. A center left lean outlet framed the Chief Minister's rhetoric as a response to anti national slogans and highlighted the specific mention of saffron hooliganism graffiti.
