  • 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 source for this story reports from Brazil.

Daniel Bialski, a new lawyer for imprisoned former banker Daniel Vorcaro, stated on Tuesday that his client wants to speak and collaborate with authorities. Vorcaro, the owner of the liquidated Banco Master, is currently held at the Papudinha prison in the Federal District. Bialski, who joined the defense team alongside lawyer Sergio Leonardo, indicated that the defense is considering a new plea bargain agreement after two previous attempts were rejected by the Federal Police and the Prosecutor General's Office (PGR).
