World Press Freedom Index at 25-year low; US falls to 64th
Reporters Without Borders' 2026 World Press Freedom Index finds global press freedom at its weakest in 25 years, assessing 180 countries and warning that established journalism is "being asphyxiated." The index reports the average score across the 180 countries is the lowest in its history and classifies three in four countries as problematic or worse.

The decline matters because shrinking press freedom erodes public accountability, limits citizens' access to information, and strengthens authoritarian pressure worldwide.
