WORLD PRESS FREEDOM INDEX

Subject: International Reports

Context: Recently, the Reporters without Borders (RSF) has released the 2021 edition of World Press Freedom Index.

Concept:

  • It ranks 180 countries, topped by Norway followed by Finland and Denmark, while Eritrea is at the bottom.
  • China is ranked 177, and is only above North Korea at 179 and Turkmenistan at 178.
  • In the South Asian neighbourhood, Nepal is at 106, Sri Lanka at 127, Myanmar (before the coup) at 140, Pakistan at 145 and Bangladesh at 152.
  • The report said that Asia Pacific’s authoritarian regimes have used the Covid-19 pandemic to perfect their methods of totalitarian control of information.
  • India has not slipped further on the World Press Freedom Index 2021.
  • India is ranked 142 after it had consistently slid down from 133 in 2016.

About World Press Freedom Index

  • It is an annual report published every year since 2002 by Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
  • It is a qualitative analysis combined with quantitative data on abuses and acts of violence against journalists during the period evaluated.
  • The countries have been given scores ranging from 0 to 100, with 0 being the best possible score and 100 the worst, ever since the 2013 index.
  • The Index ranks 180 countries and regions according to the level of freedom available to journalists.
  • It does not rank public policies even if governments obviously have a major impact on their country’s ranking.
