- 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.

Argentine forward José Manuel 'Flaco' López has renewed his contract with Palmeiras until December 2030. The agreement extends his previous contract, which was set to expire at the end of 2029, by one additional year. López has recorded 78 goals in 225 matches since joining the club in 2022. He is currently the team's top scorer for the 2026 season with 21 goals in 45 games. He also ranks as the third highest scorer for the club in the 21st century, trailing only Raphael Veiga with 109 goals and Dudu with 88 goals. In an official statement, López expressed gratitude toward the club and its staff, referring to the team as the 'Palmeiras Family' in accordance with the words of manager Abel Ferreira. During his tenure, López has won two Brazilian Leagues, one Brazilian Super Cup, and three Campeonato Paulistas. He is noted as the Argentine player with the most titles, matches, and victories in the history of the club. Reports indicate that Palmeiras rejected a 20 million euro offer from Spartak Moscow for the player in July.
