## About

Belsat covers Belarus like a correspondent who cannot go home, reporting from Warsaw on a country it watches around the clock. The paradox is built in: a Polish public broadcaster runs what press freedom groups call the only major independent video newsroom for Belarusians, while a Minsk court treats its very logo as extremist material. The English edition works like a briefing room, with Lukashenka, the KGB, exile politicians and Belarusians abroad returning headline after headline.

## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
