- 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.

Several candidates for the Brazilian presidency carried out campaign activities on Friday, focusing on regional visits and policy proposals. President Lula, seeking reelection for the PT, traveled to Ceará where he visited the Cinturão das Águas water system and held a walk in Juazeiro do Norte. In São Paulo, candidates from various parties held events: Flávio Bolsonaro of the PL visited a startup incubator and held a rally in São Carlos; Romeu Zema of Novo met with business owners in the Santa Ifigênia neighborhood; Ronaldo Caiado of the PSD visited a big tech company; and Augusto Cury of Avante met with entrepreneurs and visited a hospital in São José do Rio Preto. Additionally, Hertz Dias of the PSTU outlined proposals to re-statize strategic sectors and reduce working hours. Parallel to these events, a center-right source reported that Rogério Marinho, the campaign coordinator for Flávio Bolsonaro, met with Supreme Court Justice Gilmar Mendes in Brasília. This meeting occurred amid a crisis involving Justice Alexandre de Moraes and allegations of improper communication with a banker. While center-left sources focused on the routine campaign schedules of the candidates, the center-right source framed Flávio Bolsonaro's activities as an effort to leverage the Supreme Court scandal to mobilize supporters for an upcoming rally on September 7.
