The International Press Freedom Index

What the press freedom index rankings reveal about global journalism conditions

The Index

The Reporters Without Borders World Press Freedom Index -- the annual ranking of 180 countries on the specific combination of the legal environment for press freedom, the economic conditions for journalism, and the physical safety of journalists -- is the accountability journalism of the global conditions under which the journalism that the public depends on is produced.

The 2025 Rankings

The 2025 rankings: the Nordic countries maintain the top positions. The United States ranks in the mid-50s, reflecting the specific press freedom challenges that the concentration of media ownership, the journalist safety incidents, and the specific legal challenges to press freedom that the ranking methodology identifies. The specific countries at the bottom -- North Korea, Eritrea, and the specific authoritarian states -- are the countries where journalism as a public service does not exist in any functional form.
