How do magnetic fields polarize light?

Various astronomical phenomena' magnetic fields are mapped out by their polarized light emissions. How exactly are the light polarized by the magnetic fields?

Update:

This is the reason I'm asking this question. The M87's black hole has been mapped using polarized light recently, so how does a magnetic field polarize light?
