How outlets are classified

Full typology & matrix → State-Controlled (SC) — government controls funding, governance and editorial output. Captured Public (CaPu) — public-owned, but editorial line captured by government. Captured Private (CaPr) — privately owned, but serving government or ruling-party interests. Independent Public (IP) — publicly owned and genuinely editorially independent. Independent SF&M (ISFM) — state-funded but independent and managed at arm’s length. Independent SM (ISM) — state-managed but retaining editorial independence.

Each row shows the outlet’s State Media Monitor typology in every cycle from 2022 to 2026; a dashed cell means the outlet was not yet mapped that year. The independent family comprises Independent Public (IP), Independent State-Funded and State-Managed (ISFM) and Independent State-Managed (ISM). The active roster excludes organisations recorded as closed, merged, inactive or removed from scope. Source: State Media Monitor 2026, MJRC.
