Press Freedom in Moldova worsened in 2008-2009: Reporters Sans Frontieres

Reporters Sans Frontieres, a well-known mass media organization, recently released its Press Freedom Index 2009, which analyzes press freedom violations that took place between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009.

Moldova placed 114th out of 175, between Tajikistan (113) and Sierra Leone (115).

This placement is worse than in previous years, when Moldova placed 98 (2008), 81 (2007), and 85 (2006).

Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Norway, and Sweden had the best media climate this year. North Korea and Eritrea had the worst one.

The full ranking is available here.
