Governments have been reminded again of their duty to respect and uphold freedom of the press. It is a fundamental human right which “is the foundation of democracy and justice,” urged UN Secretary-General, António Guterres.

The UN Secretary-General recalled that at least 67 media workers were killed in 2022 . He also remarked that the growing concentration of the media industry into the hands of a few, combined with the closure of many independent news outlets and the increase of national laws and regulations that stifle journalists, are further threatening freedom of expression across the world.

The report published on May 3 and examining 180 countries and territories confirms that in the face of the current multiple crises affecting the world, media freedom, journalist safety, and freedom of expression, as well as other human rights are increasingly under attack. The Index shows enormous volatility in situations, with major rises and falls and unprecedented changes resulting from increased aggressiveness on the part of the authorities in many countries and growing animosity towards journalists on social media and in the physical world. But the volatility is also the consequence of the rapid growth in the fake content industry, whose disinformation power has been further increased by the remarkable development of artificial intelligence.
