Reporters Without Borders


Press Freedom Index 2011/2012









.....................................................

“This year’s index finds the same group of countries at its head, countries such as Finland, Norway and Netherlands that respect basic freedoms. This serves as a reminder that media independence can only be maintained in strong democracies and that democracy needs media freedom. It is worth noting the entry of Cape Verde and Namibia into the top twenty, two African countries where no attempts to obstruct the media were reported in 2011.”



United States
= #47th
* Down 27 places!
Yikes! This don't look good...
Hope I'm still allowed to say that.




United Kingdom
= #28 most free.

Besides reporting the news, do you you have any of your own ideas?
