That’s according to the 2021 World Press Freedom Index from Reporters Without Borders, which ranks each country in the world on the basis of how it treats journalists. This year, for example, Norway is at the very top of the list, with RWB noting that the country has been ranked above most countries for years on the basis of its free speech and general democratic protections (the US, in contrast, comes in at #44 this year, right below Taiwan, as a result of the inexorable collapse of many local news outlets around the US, in addition to a disturbing and growing distrust in mainstream media).

That’s according to the 2021 World Press Freedom Index from Reporters Without Borders, which ranks each country in the world on the basis of how it treats journalists. This year, for example, Norway is at the very top of the list, with RWB noting that the country has been ranked above most countries for years on the basis of its free speech and general democratic protections (the US, in contrast, comes in at #44 this year, right below Taiwan, as a result of the inexorable collapse of many local news outlets around the US, in addition to a disturbing and growing distrust in mainstream media).
