- 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.

Argentine President Javier Milei has departed for a diplomatic tour of Latin America, with scheduled stops in Ecuador and Colombia. In Quito, Milei is set to meet with Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa to sign bilateral agreements. These agreements are expected to focus on extradition and the fight against organized crime. While in Ecuador, Milei's itinerary includes a floral offering at the Plaza de la Independencia and a meeting with representatives from the automotive chambers of both nations.
Prior to the trip, the Argentine government officially designated the Chone Killers, a criminal gang operating in the Guayas region of Ecuador, as a terrorist organization. This measure, published in the Official Bulletin, aims to prevent the group from establishing a presence in Argentina. The designation aligns with a previous move by the United States Department of State.
Following the visit to Ecuador, the presidential delegation will travel to Cali, Colombia. Milei is scheduled to hold high level meetings with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and Colombian President elect Abelardo de la Espriella, whose inauguration ceremony Milei will attend on Friday. The delegation includes the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, and Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno. The return flight to Buenos Aires is scheduled for the early hours of Saturday, August 8.
