This will be a long process. But actual action, not just talking points, is noteworthy!

Today is World Press Freedom Day.
Press freedom is essential for democracy. It is under (economic, political) threat in many places.
In fact press freedom is declining and only very few countries have high degrees of press freedom.

Reporters sans frontières assure la promotion et la défense de la liberté d'informer et d'être informé partout dans le monde. L'organisation, basée à Paris, compte des bureaux à l'international (Berlin, Bruxelles, Genève, Madrid, Stockholm, Tripoli, Tunis, Vienne et Washington DC) et plus de 150 correspondants répartis sur les cinq continents.
The 2025 world press freedom index was just released
The US is ranked 57.
The report is clear: An “alarming deterioration of press freedom”.
Weaponising institutions, cutting support for media, sidelining reporters.
Although physical attacks against journalists are the most visible violations of press freedom, economic pressure is also a major, more insidious problem. The economic indicator on the RSF World Press Freedom Index 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.
