state-run

Government controls it

State-run describes enterprises, institutions, or services owned and operated by a government rather than private entities: state-run media, state-run hospitals, state-run lotteries.

The term often carries connotations of bureaucratic control or propaganda, particularly when applied to media in authoritarian contexts: The state-run newspaper published only approved stories.
