- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Bogotá has activated its hospital network to receive patients injured in an earthquake that occurred on August 10. According to the National Government, the disaster has left 4,187 people injured and 143 missing, though authorities note these figures are preliminary. The Bogotá District Health Secretariat, coordinating with the Ministry of Health, is managing the reception of 17 patients from Buenaventura, where hospital infrastructure was affected. As of the most recent update, six patients have arrived in the city, while others await air transport coordinated by the National Government. The city has assigned beds for 12 expected patients, with eight slated for the public network at hospitals Santa Clara, El Tunal, and Meissen, and others at the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá and the Hospital Universitario Nacional. Meanwhile, reports indicate significant damage to health infrastructure in Cali, where nearly 200 health providers show damage, specifically impacting the Hospital Universitario del Valle and the eastern Cali network.
