- 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.

Seven of the eight candidates for the government of Pernambuco participated in campaign activities on Tuesday, August 25. The activities included walks, door to door campaigning, radio and television recordings, and interviews. Governor Raquel Lyra of the PSD conducted flyering in front of the Hospital da Restauração and recorded material for the radio electoral guide. João Campos of the PSB held a meeting with mothers of children with autism, participated in a sabatina by Diario de Pernambuco, and led a walk in Jaboatão dos Guararapes.
While a center leaning report focuses on the strategic pressure from João Campos's allies for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to visit the state, a center left leaning report provides a broader overview of the daily schedules of all candidates. According to the center leaning source, a Quaest poll released on Tuesday shows Governor Raquel Lyra leading by eight points. Consequently, PT members such as Senator Humberto Costa and Federal Deputy Carlos Veras are coordinating for President Lula to visit Pernambuco, noting that his presence was crucial in other states like Bahia and Rio Grande do Norte.
Other candidates also maintained active schedules. Ivan Moraes of the PSOL gave a radio interview and held an event with artists. Professor Jeremias do Banco of the Democrata met with leaders in Santa Cruz do Capibaribe, Toritama, and Limoeiro. Professora Camila of the UP spoke with factory workers and conducted door to door outreach. Renan Hallais of the Missão visited Paulista, Abreu e Lima, and Goiana. Victor Assis of the PCO participated in online programs and a national plenary. Guilherme Fonseca of the PSTU had no public agenda due to a surgery.
