World Press Freedom Index 2014

The annual “indicator” of the global level of media freedom, which Reporters Without Borders published for the first time 12 months ago, along with the 2013 index, shows a slight increase in violations of the right to inform and be informed. The global indicator has gone from 3395 a year ago to 3456 now, an increase of 61 points or 1.8 per cent, meaning a small decline in respect for freedom of

information worldwide.

While 2013 was less deadly for journalists than 2012, a year of unprecedented carnage, it saw a rise in physical attacks and threats against media personnel. The indicator’s rise was due not only to this increase in violence but also to variations in the other measures used to compile the index:

- Pluralism, meaning the representation of different views in the media - Independence of the media vis-à-vis political, economic, religious and military centres of power - Quality of the legislation governing the media - Transparency of the bodies regulating the media - Performance of the infrastructure supporting the media - Overall climate for freedom of information

The indicator is a tool for measuring overall performance. The breakdown of the indicator’s scores by region shows a worsening in all continents except Asia, where it was unchanged. Like last year, the European Union and Balkans obtained the best score (17.6), followed by the Americas (30.3), Africa (35.6), Asia-Pacific (42.2), Eastern Europe and Central Asia (45.5) and finally Middle East and North Africa (48.7).

Annual media freedom indicator: 3456 in 2014 (3395 in 2013) • European Union and Balkans: 17.6 (17.5) • Americas: 30.3 (30.0)

• Africa: 35.6 (34.3) • Asia-Pacific: 42.2 (42.2) • Eastern Europe and Central Asia: 45.5 (45.3) • Middle East and North Africa: 48.7 (48.5)
