"Reporters Without Borders": Freedom of the press is being threatened

The organization "Reporters Without Borders" expresses concern about the state of press freedom in the world, which according to it is being threatened by those who should be its guarantors, the political authorities.

In the latest annual World Press Freedom Index compiled by this organization, it is noted that the lack of political will to protect media rights is accelerating the decline of its freedom.

The Index's findings are based on the fact that of the five indicators used to make the respective rankings, the political indicator has fallen the most, recording a global average annual decline of 7.6 points.

"A growing number of states and political authorities are not fulfilling their role as guarantors of the best possible environment for journalists as well as the right of public opinion to receive reliable, independent and diverse information. The organization 'Reporters Without Borders' notes a worrying decline in support and respect for media independence and increased pressure from the state or other political actors", says the Index made public on World Press Freedom Day.

The index classifies the level of press as "good", "satisfactory", "problematic", "difficult" or "very dangerous".

Norway ranks first for the eighth year in a row, while the last three countries with the worst press freedom in the world are Afghanistan, Syria and Eritrea.

The report notes that "political interests create a suffocating atmosphere for journalists in many candidate countries for membership in the European Union, such as Bosnia-Herzegovina (ranked 81st), Serbia (ranked 98th) and Albania (ranked 99th) . Turkey (158th) continues to imprison journalists and undermine the media through online media censorship and control over the judiciary."

Further declines have been noted in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where press freedom is not guaranteed and where the media is increasingly used in disinformation campaigns.

The Russian state (ranked 162nd) has continued its attack on independent journalism, while over 1,500 journalists have fled the country following Russian aggression against Ukraine.
