Reporters Without Borders warned that media freedom around the world is in a bad state with disinformation, propaganda, and artificial intelligence posing an increasing threat to journalism.
The international non-profit organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF) recently published the 2022 World Press Freedom Index, which ranks 180 countries based on the level of freedom enjoyed by journalists. Although Finland retained its fifth-place ranking overall, its score on the safety of journalists indicator plummeted 13 places to 23rd.
The safety of journalists must be part of the discussion when American President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador convene in Mexico City for the North American Leaders’ Summit on January 9. According to Reporters Without Borders’ (RSF) figures, 2022 was the deadliest year on record for journalists in Mexico with 14 media workers killed–at least 11 of them in direct connection with their work.
