- 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.

Pedro Uczai, the leader of the Workers Party (PT) in the Chamber of Deputies, was hospitalized after suffering an ischemic stroke during a meeting of the College of Leaders on Tuesday, July 11. The parliamentarian from Santa Catarina fainted during the session, which led Chamber President Hugo Motta to suspend the plenary session. Uczai was taken to Hospital DF Star, where exams confirmed an ischemic stroke in the left cerebellum. According to his press office, the deputy is conscious, oriented, and shows no motor or cognitive deficits. Reports from Wednesday indicate he is in the Intensive Care Unit for observation and complementary exams with a positive clinical evolution. The event occurred during a concentrated week of legislative activity intended to coordinate the functioning of Congress with the upcoming election period. While center and center-right reports focused on the medical details and the impact on the legislative agenda, the center-leaning report highlighted messages of support from other politicians, including Marina Silva and Sâmia Bomfim.
