Freedom of the Press

Freedom House issues world press freedom report

The “Freedom House” has published its annual report on the situation with freedom of press around the world. 75 out of the 194 countries (39%) were rated as ‘free’, 50 (26%) ‘partly free’ and 69 (35%) as ‘not free’.

According to the report, five countries improved in category while two declined. In addition to Ukraine and Lebanon, Guatemala and Guinea-Bissau moved from Not Free to Partly Free.

Maybe. But you still have to be very, very careful at whom you point your camera!
