The Reporters Without Borders World Press Freedom Index dataset provides annual rankings of 180 countries, measuring the degree of press freedom based on five key indicators: political context, legal framework, economic context, sociocultural context, and safety. Each country receives scores (0–100) for these indicators, which are combined into an overall index reflecting the ability of journalists and media organizations to operate freely and without undue interference or risk. The dataset is time-series, covering multiple years, and is widely used to track trends and compare the state of press freedom globally.
