- 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.

Ne-Yo performed as a headliner at the Rock in Rio festival on Sunday, October 6. Prior to the concert, the artist spent Saturday night exploring the nightlife in Rio de Janeiro, attending a party at Terreirão do Samba called We Make Better Days, which featured a performance by the singer Pocah. During his set at the Palco Sunset, Ne-Yo performed a mix of his classic hits, such as So Sick, Miss Independent, and Mad, as well as songs he wrote for Beyoncé and Rihanna. He also included newer tracks from his country influenced album Highway 79, including Ms Tundra and Up Out Gone. While the performance featured a full crowd, the coverage of the event differed based on political lean. A center lean source focused on the artist's social activities and his role as a headliner. In contrast, a center left source framed the performance through a critical lens, noting that the artist has lacked new hits for nearly two decades and relies on nostalgia and a consistent setlist, though it acknowledged his technical skill as a performer.
