- 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.

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro of the PL party is intensifying efforts to define his vice presidential running mate before the August 5 deadline set by the Electoral Court. The campaign is currently negotiating with the PP and Republicanos parties, while awaiting a decision from Podemos. While Marcos Pereira, the national president of Republicanos, has declared personal support for Flávio, some state directories of that party have signaled they do not want a composition with the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Negotiations include the possibility of naming Senator Tereza Cristina of the PP as vice president, although the party's national executive has maintained neutrality. Alternatively, the campaign may opt for a pure ticket with a vice candidate from the PL. Meanwhile, Podemos is meeting to decide if supporting Flávio is in the best interest of the party's growth.
Reporting on the campaign's strategy differs by political lean. A center source focuses on the logistical timeline and the specific parties involved in the alliance talks. In contrast, a center left source emphasizes the campaign's pressure tactics, reporting that allies are warning parties that delaying support until the second round will result in less influence in a future government. This center left report also notes that the campaign is encouraged by a BTG/Nexus poll showing a narrowing gap between Flávio and Lula.
