  • 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.

Every source for this story reports from Italy.

Singer Shakira visited Quibdó, the capital of the Chocó department, following a magnitude 7.4 earthquake on August 10 that caused approximately 300 deaths and destroyed thousands of homes. Accompanied by Howard Buffett, son of Warren Buffett, the artist announced a plan to rebuild schools through her Pies Descalzos Foundation and Live Nation. A total of 1.25 million dollars has already been raised to begin the process. This funding includes 500,000 dollars from the Fifa Global Citizen Education Fund, 500,000 dollars from Live Nation, and 250,000 dollars from the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean. Shakira expressed concern that survivors might be abandoned once the emergency phase ends and emphasized the historical debt the country owes to the Chocó region. While center leaning coverage focused on the humanitarian appeal and the specific needs of the children, center right coverage framed the visit as part of a broader personal comeback for the pop star following her separation from Gerard Piqué.
