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.

Woody Allen will begin filming his 51st feature film in Madrid starting October 5. The production, provisionally titled 'Wasp 2026', will be filmed primarily in the center of the Spanish capital and the town of Aranjuez. The cast includes Alexi Wasser, Jemima Kirke, Marton Csokas, Jakob Oftebro, and Peter Vives, who is the only Spaniard in the cast.

The project is supported by the Community of Madrid and the City Council of Madrid. While a center left source reports a combined contribution of three million euros from these entities, a center right source specifies a sponsorship contract of 1.5 million euros from the Community of Madrid intended to promote regional tourism. The center right source further notes that the city is viewed as a character in the film rather than just a setting. Additional details regarding the production will be shared during a press conference on October 1 at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando.
