- 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.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
A strengthening El Niño phenomenon is triggering widespread climate alerts across the Americas, with projections indicating significant risks of drought, water scarcity, and forest fires. In Central America, Panama and El Salvador have declared states of alert due to their location in the dry corridor, where they are particularly vulnerable to record drought and crop loss. In Brazil, the impact is expected to be widespread. The Center for Management and Operation of the Amazon Protection System (Censipam) warns that the state of Amapá and other parts of the Legal Amazon face a high risk of forest fires and delayed rains between August and October. This forecast follows a June 2026 consolidation of the phenomenon characterized by extreme warming of the Equatorial Pacific.
