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.
