It’s crazy how well us baltics did after the fall of the Soviet Union. Like none of us had any sort of problems with democracy, it came so natural to us, none of our leaders had autocratic tendencies. While pretty much every other post-warsaw pact state (maybe with the exception of Czechia and Slovakia) has these problems. Interesting.
I don’t get it. What’s happening to the press in America that makes it so unfree?
Another false rating.
Kind of a pointless map because some of them like Italy, France, UK are barely better than the US. So while technically correct how can it be better when one score is 22.6 and the other is 23.8
Lol, green Britain, where Assange rots in jail without charges.
Cyprus sank into the sea!
Press freedom index is nonsense. The UK, which allows legal prior restraint, is ranked above the US.
I believe our rating is shit due to the defamation/insult law we have.
I think Slovakia should be in red too. There are countries in red that didn’t have journalists killed by hired assassins.
you could change the caption to anything you want and it would still look like any Europe statistics map ever posted
So this map is very vague, and generalizes a lot, while real RSF research gives much more details and contrast.

kurwa.
Portugal finally not eastern Europe in something!
Yeah presses are free to write their bullshit here
This map is quite deceiving. It’s trying to specify a west/east divide in press freedom whilst bundling together countries ranked 48th ( Romania ) or between 60-70 ( e.g. Greece & Poland ) with countries ranked below the 150th place like Turkey and Russia.
Creative nonetheless.
Greetings from Poland… it’s so f… sad.
I don´t know why but Slovakia borders are alway visible on this kind maps.
But now in possitive site so ok.
Y’know… freedom of press is one thing, journalistic integrity is completely another.
A high index doesn’t indicate better journalism, a lower index doesn’t indicate worse journalism.
Neither does it influence how much propaganda is being pumped out.
In fact, in terms of sheer scale of propaganda and dishonest journalism, 2 nations on opposite spectrums of the journalist freedom index, are the closest.
Just saying.. don’t mistake press freedom index with journalist integrity, it simply means journalists are more or less free to spread their own narratives or naratives of the highest bidder.
Portugal used to be Eastern Europe. Now, Portugal *is* Europe according the the coloring of this map.
Slovakia can into Western Europe
Surprised Greek media is not free anyone have insight on this? Would love to know as I thought it was a full fledged democracy and what have you, or is it social factors?

Wtf, Greece! I thought you were one of us!
