Mapping Global Press Freedom


Every twelvemonth Reporters Without Borders releases the annual World Press Freedom Index. The Index ranks countries but about the basis based on the sum of liberty they grant their media.

The results of the 2015 World Press Freedom Index tin last viewed on a Leaflet powered map. Countries on the map are colored based on their press liberty rankings. I loathe to brand spurious correlations - but basically the colder a province is as well as then the to a greater extent than probable it is to convey press liberty (except Russia!).


The map includes the alternative to besides stance the 2013 & 2014 Press Freedom Index scores for each country. Alternatively you lot tin check-out the the 2014 World Press Freedom Index map. Last year's map included an interesting 3d stance which visualizes the press liberty index equally a topographical map.
