Armenia ranks 101st out of 178 states in the 2010 Press Freedom Index list issued by Reporters Without Borders organization. Armenia was 111th last year. Georgia comes 99th, while Azerbaijan is 138th.
Several countries share first place in the index again. This year it is Finland, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. They have all previously held this honour since the index was created in 2002. Norway and Iceland have always been among the countries sharing first position except in 2006 (Norway) and 2009 (Iceland). These six countries set an example in the way they respect journalists and news media and protect them from judicial abuse.
