- 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.

Eduardo Gomes of the PL party leads the race for one of the two Senate seats in Tocantins with 43.1 percent of valid votes, according to a survey by Instituto Veritá released on Monday, September 14. Other candidates for the Senate include Alexandre Guimarães of the MDB with 25 percent, Eli Borges of the Republicanos with 20.4 percent, and Gaguim of the União party with 19.1 percent. These three candidates are considered tied within the survey's 3 percentage point margin of error. The Veritá poll, conducted between September 7 and 12, surveyed 1,220 eligible voters in the state. In a separate development regarding the race for the government of Tocantins, candidate Professora Dorinha of the União party held a public meeting with business leaders and real estate representatives in Palmas. During the event, she discussed her government plan, focusing on the construction industry, urban development, and land regularization. According to G1, coverage of government candidates is determined by their performance in the most recent Quaest survey, with those holding over 15 percent of intentions receiving more frequent coverage.
