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 source for this story reports from Brazil.

A variety of legal and public safety events have occurred across Brazil. In São Paulo, the Civil and Scientific police are conducting DNA collection this Sunday at Praça da Sé to help locate missing persons. Meanwhile, a police officer off duty was shot and killed during a robbery on Marginal Tietê in the city's east zone. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, the Court of Justice confirmed the bankruptcy of the telecommunications company Oi, though a legal mechanism called UPI was used to preserve strategic assets like fiber optics. In Minas Gerais, three people were convicted of fraud in taxi bidding processes in Juiz de Fora, with the ringleader receiving a sentence of 12 years and nine months.

Public safety and health alerts have been issued in several regions. The Civil Defense has warned of high wildfire risks in the Vale do Paraíba and Litoral Norte of São Paulo due to heat and dry weather. In the south, a hail storm caused damage to nearly 80 percent of the town of Três Palmeiras in Rio Grande do Sul. In the northeast, the Federal Highway Police seized 70 smartphones valued at over 260,000 reais on the BR-423 in Garanhuns, Pernambuco.

Other notable events include the hospitalization of Piauí gubernatorial candidate Lourdes Melo due to high blood pressure and the assault of a 12 year old girl by a 20 year old woman outside a school in Nova Lima. Additionally, the Civil Police in Amazonas have scheduled a reconstruction of the death of Tadeo Kulina, an indigenous man whose case was reopened following a podcast investigation. In Tocantins, the family of former mayor Moisés Costa da Silva continues to demand answers eight years after his 2018 assassination.
