Freedom House annual surveys

1980-2017Freedom HouseAnnual SurveysFreedom HouseFreedom of the Press, an annual report on media independence around the world, was published between 1980 and 2017, and assessed the degree of print, broadcast, and digital media freedom in 199 countries and territories. It provided numerical scores and country narratives evaluating the legal environment for the media, political pressures that influenced reporting, and economic factors that affected access to news and information. The link above also lists our other ongoing publications such as Freedom in the World, Nations in Transit, Freedom on the Net, which look at a broader range of dimensions, but encompass indicators and relevant recommendations for promoting enabling environments for free and independent media and online freedom.https://freedomhouse.org/reports/publication-archives

Media Freedom: A Downward Spiral2019Repucci, Sarah
ReportFreedom HouseKey Findings
Media freedom has been deteriorating around the world over the past decade.
In some of the most influential democracies in the world, populist leaders have overseen concerted attempts to throttle the independence of the media sector.
While the threats to global media freedom are real and concerning in their own right, their impact on the state of democracy is what makes them truly dangerous.
Experience has shown, however, that press freedom can rebound from even lengthy stints of repression when given the opportunity. The basic desire for democratic liberties, including access to honest and fact-based journalism, can never be extinguished.

Attacks on the Record: The State of Global Press Freedom 2017-20182017-2018Freedom HouseSpecial ReportFreedom HousePress freedom is facing new threats in major democracies as well as in repressive states, where authorities are focusing their efforts on social media and other online platforms after subduing the independence of major print and broadcast outlets.

The analysis below—drawn from the findings of Freedom House’s most recent Freedom in the World, Freedom on the Net, and Nations in Transit research projects and from its in-country programs—shows that media independence is under pressure in every region of the world, but also that dedicated journalists are still playing a vital role in even the most hostile environments.

Poland - Special Report 2017: Pluralism Under Attack2017Chapman, Annabelle
Special ReportFreedom HouseKey Findings
Poland has become a crucial battleground in the drive by authoritarian-minded leaders to gain control over political discourse and limit media pluralism.
The Law and Justice government has sought to control the media as part of a broader push to weaken checks and balances and silence independent voices. By rejecting the media’s independence, the government is deepening polarization within Poland.
The fate of media freedom in Poland will herald either the continued march of populist authoritarianism around the world or a turning of the tide and a new period of democratic resilience.
The EU and Poland’s allies, including the United States, should make clear that Poland’s best interests lie in respecting the media’s independence and allowing a diversity of views to flourish.
