As a result of changes in the 2025 #WorldPressFreedomIndex released yesterday I have updated which news sources are used for https://publicnews.world
#Seychelles Press Freedom Index score fell from 73.75 in 2024 to 68.56 in 2025 moving it's ranking from 37th to 45th and pushing it's classification from "satisfactory" to "problematic". #SeychellesBroadcastingCorporation (#SBC) has been removed as a news source.
"Although physical attacks against journalists are the most visible violations of #PressFreedom, economic pressure is also a major, more insidious problem. The economic indicator on the #RSF #WorldPressFreedomIndex now stands at an unprecedented, critical low as its decline continued in 2025. As a result, the global state of press freedom is now classified as a “difficult situation” for the first time in the history of the Index."

"#PressFreedom around the world is being threatened by the very people who should be its guarantors – political authorities. This is clear from the latest annual #WorldPressFreedomIndex produced by #ReportersWithoutBorders (#RSF). This finding is based on the fact that, of the five indicators used to compile the ranking, it is the political indicator that has fallen most, registering a global average fall of 7.6 points."

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 8️⃣: #Africa 🌍
I decided to try something new and create my very first #bivariate #choropleth map! The two variables I’ve mapped for 52 African countries are the 2023 #WorldPressFreedomIndex scores by #ReportersWithoutBorders and the 2022 #HumanDevelopmentIndex by the UN Development Programme.
Unfortunately São Tomé and Príncipe didn’t have a WPFI score while there’s no HDI for Somalia. Of course Western Sahara had no data too.

2023 World Press Freedom Index – journalism threatened by fake content industry
https://rsf.org/en/2023-world-press-freedom-index-journalism-threatened-fake-content-industry
The 21st edition of the #WorldPressFreedomIndex, compiled annually by Reporters Without Borders (#RSF), sheds light on major and often radical changes linked to political, social and technological upheavals.
——— ⁂ ————
There are changes at the bottom of the Index, too. The last three places are occupied solely by Asian countries: #Vietnam (178th), which has almost completed its hunt of independent reporters and commentators; #China (down 4 at 179th), the world’s biggest jailer of journalists and one of the biggest exporters of propaganda content; and, to no great surprise, #NorthKorea (180th).
And here are the 2023 rankings and change from 2022 of all 11 Southeast Asian countries in the #WorldPressFreedomIndex by #ReportersWithoutBorders:
• #TimorLeste 🇹🇱 - 10th 🔼 7
• #Malaysia 🇲🇾 - 73rd 🔼 40
• #Thailand 🇹🇭 - 106th 🔼 9
• #Indonesia 🇮🇩 - 108th 🔼 9
• #Singapore 🇸🇬 - 129th 🔼 10
• #Philippines 🇵🇭 - 132nd 🔼 15
• #Brunei 🇧🇳 - 142nd 🔼 4
• #Cambodia 🇰🇭 - 147th 🔽 5
• #Laos 🇱🇦 - 160th 🔼 1
