- 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.

A cold front arriving Tuesday, September 1, is bringing storm alerts and significant temperature drops to the state of São Paulo. The National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) issued a yellow alert for potential danger, forecasting storms with rainfall between 20 mm and 30 mm per hour, wind gusts from 40 to 60 km/h, and the possibility of hail. In the metropolitan region of the capital, the Center for Climate Emergency Management (CGE) predicts isolated showers in the morning, with precipitation intensifying by the afternoon and evening. Wind gusts could exceed 50 km/h, increasing the risk of falling trees, flooding, and overflowing rivers. The state Civil Defense warned that gusts could exceed 75 km/h in several regions, including the capital, Campinas, and the coast. The Brazilian Navy also reported that the system may cause high seas with waves up to 3.5 meters between Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, and up to 3 meters between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In the Campinas region, Cepagri from Unicamp describes a thermal seesaw for the week. After a high of 22 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, temperatures may drop to a minimum of 12 degrees Celsius on Thursday before rising back to 30 degrees Celsius on Friday. Heavy rains are expected to return during the upcoming long weekend.
