RSF

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has ranked the environment for journalism as “bad” in 70% of the 180 countries it assessed in its annual ranking of press freedom. In its 21st annual report published on World Press Freedom Day, the non-governmental organisation highlighted the rise of misinformation, aided by AI software and political propaganda. The Middle East and North Africa remained the most dangerous region for journalists, while Europe remained the safest, though attacks on journalists in Germany saw it drop five places.
