I wish we could see the whole world. Are there any regions that beat the Nordics?
Armenia sticks out..
Why is Bosnia orange? That country is so fucking lawless, poor and fucked it’s literally impossible to tell someone off. Is it because of Srpska?
my country has gone 30 places in front of the top list since . freedom of speech in front
This is more a measure of RSF’s methodology than how free the press is to print whatever they want. RSF includes things like how affordable internet access is for reporters and if reporters can join a union. Or if cartoonists are targeted for hate campaigns, so France loses points because Charlie Hebdo gets a reaction even though Charlie Hebdo is an example of the press being free.
RSF also casts a wide net — for example, the US loses points for journalists being arrested, but nearly every case of a journalist being arrested is for something like trespassing where the journalist enters private property without permission. This is illegal for everybody, not just journalists.
So, take this map as perhaps not entirely representing what you might personally consider to be press freedom.
I dislike the score going 0-40 then 15 by 15.
it’s either manipulative or at best stupid: it makes impossible to correctly evaluate the lower part of the scale.
Oh no, western europe isn’t at the top, here come the excuses and mental gymnastics.
One of the worst graphs
That is meaning that they are fully free to manipulate population?…
So basically same as any other data map of Europe?
Getting oranger by the minute
I’m surprised Greece is orange and not red.
Just 11 days left…
I hate Erdoğan with every fiber of my body. I go to bed cursing his name and wake up cursing his name.
The funny thing is that one of the reasons Greece received a bad rating is because there was no progress in solving the murder of an investigative journalist. But like 3 days ago the police arrested the organization responsible for carrying out the hit. Now they gotta find out who ordered it.
Kaliningrad and European part of Turkey sticks out.
Armenia for EU candidate next please!!!!! 🙏🙏
Czechia and Slovakia are Western Europe again. 🙂
How the progressive soviet union led to the most conservative, backwards and unfree region in the northern hemisphere
We Turks ban Shariah propaganda why did they do us dirty?!?😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😕😤😤😤😤⚔️⚔️⚔️🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
How do we calculate?
This would have some face-value credibility for me if Ukraine were at the same score as Russia or at least scored lower than Poland and Greece. If they were consciously handicapping Ukraine’s score to take its current situation into account, they should have done that with an asterisk and a little statement at the bottom of the map that said something like: “There’s a war going on in Ukraine. Press freedoms always suffer during wartime.”
nordic countries good, eastern europe bad, next infographic please
