Recent reports from Reporters Without Borders (RSF) reveal a troubling decline in press freedom globally, with the United States experiencing particularly severe setbacks. The U.S. has fallen to a historical low in press freedom rankings, attributed largely to spending cuts to public media during the Trump administration. While Europe remains the leading region for media freedom, countries like Greece and Georgia face alarming declines, with Greece under growing surveillance and economic pressures. Conversely, Armenia has made gains in the rankings. The report highlights the ongoing economic fragility that poses a significant threat to press freedom worldwide, with India notably ranking at 151st and Turkey falling to 159th. As the global situation worsens, RSF calls for a reconstruction of the journalism industry to combat these challenges.
