  • 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 source for this story reports from Italy.

A woman died by drowning after her car became trapped in a flooded underpass in Latisana, located in the province of Udine. A carabiniere attempted to save the woman by diving into the water and pulling her from the vehicle, but she died despite the effort. The carabiniere was subsequently hospitalized in code green. Other weather related incidents occurred across Italy, including the collapse of a bunker room false ceiling in Milan, overturned cars and flooded roads in the Bergamasca area, the Lambro river exceeding its banks, and fallen trees in the Grossetano area.
