Today is World Press Freedom Day—but there is little to celebrate. The latest index from Reporters Without Borders (RSF) shows this is the worst year in its 25-year history, with the global average score at a record low. For the first time, more than half of all countries are classified as having “difficult” or “very serious” press freedom conditions, and just one percent of the world’s population lives in countries rated “good.” At the bottom, Eritrea remains the most dangerous place for journalists, while Gaza Strip is among the deadliest places to report. To discuss, France 24’s Gavin Lee is joined by Christina Lamb, Chief Foreign Correspondent at The Sunday Times, who is calling for an independent body to investigate crimes against journalists.
