What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on the same basic frame: Brazil’s presidential race is heading to a runoff between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro after neither won outright. Reuters, AP, the New York Times, CNN, CBS, Sky News and others emphasize the runoff and Bolsonaro’s first-round edge, while BBC and AP’s earlier item are more neutral in describing the frontrunners. The Guardian, CNN, France 24 and Channel 4 stress a surprise or shock first-place finish for Bolsonaro, and the Independent and South China Morning Post are the only ones to add Congress, Brazil-China ties, or other broader implications in their extracts.
