Decline in Media Freedom Worldwide

One basic precondition for democratic societies to function is the freedom of the press. The NGO Reporters Without Borders (RSF) seldom has good news when it comes to publishing its yearly World Press Freedom Index. This year’s index “shows that there has been a deep and disturbing decline in respect for media freedom at both the global and regional levels,” RSF concludes upon the release of the latest index.
