Global Press Freedom

This week, Freedom House, an American think tank, has released highlights from its annual survey of global press freedom. The survey results show deterioration in the level of press freedom worldwide for a sixth straight year.

According to the results, Finland and Iceland have the world’s more free press. Canada finishes in 21st position, just behind the U.S. The report blames increasing media concentration in Canada as well as isolated cases of political and legislative environment pressures. The disparition of TQS in Quebec would not improve this aspect...

North Korea and Cuba are among the countries that occupy the bottom slots... the usual suspects as The Economist names them!
