Press Freedom Index by Country 2013-2023

This bar chart race shows the World Press Freedom Index by Country from 2013 to 2023.

The scores are based on the World Press Freedom Index (WPFI), and calculated as 100-N in this video. WPFI is an annual report and ranking published by the organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF). It assesses and measures the degree of freedom available to journalists and media organizations in countries around the world. The index considers factors such as government censorship, media independence, journalist safety, and legal frameworks for press freedom. Countries are assigned scores and rankings based on these criteria, with higher scores indicating greater press freedom and lower scores suggesting a more restrictive environment for journalism. The WPFI serves as a valuable tool for monitoring and advocating for press freedom globally, highlighting the challenges and threats faced by journalists in different regions.
