Only one in seven people in the world live in a place where coverage of politics in the media is robust and journalists can work without legal and economic problems, according to a report released by Freedom House today.
The human rights organization said this year marked a ten-year low in media freedom around the world, which it attributed to an increase in restrictive media laws and the difficulty of access for journalists to certain areas of the world due to violence.
Human rights organization Freedom House assessed the press freedom of 199 territories and countries around the world over the last year. They evaluated journalists' capacity to operate in each jurisdiction and studied the nature of their interactions with governments and businesses. Each country or territory is labeled free, partly free or not free.
