- 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.

The team representing influencer Virginia Fonseca stated that the next queen of the Acadêmicos do Grande Rio samba school requested that the traditional crown handover ceremony not take place. Virginia, 28, announced her departure from the school in early August to seek a better balance between her professional life and her family. While the school has not officially named a successor, reports and social media rumors indicate that singer Anitta will take over the role and be announced on Sunday. Virginia's press office issued a statement claiming she remained available for the tradition, but the school chose to honor the request of the incoming queen to cancel the event.
