Global Press Freedom Under Threat: Report

Reporters Without Borders released its annual Press Freedom Index, ranking 180 countries on their press freedom environment for journalists. Of the countries included, 70% were branded as "bad." The report warns of the propagation of disinformation, made easier by advanced technologies, and highlights the entire disinformation industry that intentionally seeks to undermine factual reporting. Germany fell five spots in the ranking due to an increase in attacks on journalists, while Norway took the top spot for the seventh year in a row. The bottom spot was held by North Korea, with China falling four spots into second-last place.
