- 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.
Every source for this story reports from Brazil.
The Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) will broadcast a plenary session live on Tuesday, October 15, at 10 a.m. via TV Justiça, Radio Justiça, and YouTube. The session will analyze a Federal Police report regarding messages and interactions between Justice Alexandre de Moraes and Daniel Vorcaro, the former controller and owner of Banco Master. The court must decide if the evidence justifies opening an investigation into Justice Moraes or if the material should be archived.
The proceedings follow a period of internal tension. Justice Edson Fachin, the president of the court, rejected a request from Justice Moraes to include a separate analysis of Justice André Mendonça's conduct in the same session. Justice Mendonça, who made the documents public, is accused by Moraes of abuse of authority in his handling of investigations into Banco Master and INSS frauds. The STF has scheduled the discussion regarding Justice Mendonça for September 23.
Security for the event will be heightened in the Federal District. The Public Security Secretariat plans to deploy drones, monitor cameras, and potentially implement road blocks near the Praça dos Três Poderes to manage potential protests.
Reporting on the session's transparency varied by political lean. Center outlets focused on the procedural debate over whether the session should be public or private to avoid internal exposure. Center right outlets framed the decision to broadcast as a victory for constitutional transparency over attempts to keep the proceedings closed.
How each side framed it
