Index description

The World Press Freedom Index, published annually by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), ranks 180 countries based on the freedom and independence afforded to journalists. This comprehensive index evaluates press freedom through a detailed questionnaire that examines five key categories: political context, legal framework, economic context, sociocultural context, and security. It focuses solely on the ability of journalists to operate without constraints and does not assess the quality of journalism or broader human rights issues within the assessed nations.
