Replication data for Informational sovereignty: The commercial and geopolitical risk of newsroom dependency on third-party infrastructure in Latin America

Having defined the sites, data for each of the elements was collected by consulting the information available for each media outlet. This task was primarily performed by introducing the URL of each media outlet into specialized databases, including SimilarWeb, SimilarTech, and WhoIS, as shown in Table 1. When more than one provider was mentioned for a service, both were introduced. Missing data was logged in as such. After a thorough preliminary scoping, a structured form with pre-loaded options was used. This helped eliminate typing errors and accelerate the data collection process. Random manual checks were performed on the source code of the websites to confirm consistency in cases where providers are visible. Data was collected between May 10 and May 17, 2024. A raw file is made available for reuse and replication.
