Least Press Freedom
Understand least press freedom: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
Press-freedom indices assess the environment in which journalism operates. They do not rate whether every article is accurate or whether every reader trusts the media. Legal, political, economic and safety conditions can all influence an index. The methodology and edition matter when interpreting changes in position over time.
