无国界记者组织周四警告称,全球新闻自由已降至25年来的最低水平。
这家媒体权益监督机构,即常说的RSF,以特朗普总统对记者的“系统性”攻击以及2025年沙特阿拉伯处决一名记者为例。
一份声明中称:“在无国界记者组织25年的指数历史中,全球首次有超过半数的国家在新闻自由方面被归入‘困难’或‘非常严重’类别。”
无国界记者组织表示,此次接受调查的全部180个国家和地区的平均得分创下历史新低。
与此同时,生活在新闻自由状况被评为“良好”国家的全球人口占比已从20%暴跌至不足1%。
仅北欧地区的七个国家属于这一类别,其中挪威位居榜首。
报告称,美国在2024年特朗普连任当年就已从“相当良好”的评级滑落至“存在问题”,此次又进一步下滑7位,位列第64名。

报告指出,除了对媒体的“系统性打压”政策外,美国的局势还因萨尔瓦多记者马里奥·格雷罗被拘留后驱逐出境而蒙上阴影——这名记者曾揭露移民被捕事件,同时美国国际广播资金遭到大幅削减。
无国界记者组织称,2026年新闻自由下滑最严重的是军政府统治的尼日尔(排名第120位,下滑37位),这凸显了近年来萨赫勒地区新闻自由的整体恶化趋势:武装组织和执政军政府的打压抑制了民众获取多元来源平衡信息的权利。
无国界记者组织表示,在部分国家,新闻自由状况几乎没有变化,比如中国、朝鲜和厄立特里亚——后者连续三年位居排名末位。
“东欧和中东是全球对记者来说最危险的两个地区,25年来一直如此,”该组织称。“弗拉基米尔·普京治下的俄罗斯排名第172位,这一情况印证了这一点:俄罗斯持续在乌克兰发动侵略战争,仍是全球新闻自由状况最差的国家之一。”
报告称俄罗斯“已成为利用反恐、反分裂和反极端主义相关法律限制新闻自由的行家”,截至本月,该国关押了48名记者。
无国界记者组织提到,阿萨德下台后的叙利亚新闻自由状况改善最为显著,排名上升了36位。
RSF是该组织原名Reporters sans frontières的首字母缩写,该组织于1985年在法国成立。
Press freedom worldwide is at lowest level in 25 years, watchdog group warns
April 30, 2026 / 6:44 AM EDT / CBS/AFP
Press freedom has fallen to its lowest level in a quarter of a century, Reporters Without Borders warned on Thursday.
The media rights watchdog also known as RSF cited as examples President Trump’s “systematic” attacks on journalists, and Saudi Arabia, which executed a journalist in 2025.
“For the first time in the (RSF) Index’s 25-year history, more than half the world’s countries now fall into the ‘difficult’ or ‘very serious’ categories for press freedom,” a statement said.
The average score of all 180 countries and territories that were surveyed has never been so low, RSF said.
At the same time, the share of the world’s population living in a country where the press freedom situation is considered “good” has plunged from 20% to less than 1%.
Only seven countries in Northern Europe, led by Norway, fall into this category.
The United States, which had already fallen from a “fairly good” to a “problematic” situation in 2024, the year of Mr. Trump’s re-election, dropped a further seven places to 64, it said.

Beyond his attacks on the press — “a systematic policy” — the situation in the United States has been marked by the detention and subsequent expulsion of Salvadoran journalist Mario Guevara, who denounced the arrest of migrants, and by drastic cuts to funding for U.S. international broadcasting, the report said.
The steepest decline in 2026 was in junta-led Niger (120th, down 37 places), underscoring the wider decline in press freedom in the Sahel region seen in recent years as attacks by armed groups and ruling juntas have suppressed the right to balanced information from diverse sources, RSF said.
In some countries, the state of press freedom has hardly changed, like in China, North Korea and Eritrea — which ranked last for the third consecutive year, RSF said.
“Eastern Europe and the Middle East are the two most dangerous regions for journalists in the world, as they have been for 25 years,” it said. “This is reflected in the ranking of Vladimir Putin’s Russia (172nd), which has continued its war of aggression in Ukraine and remains one of the worst countries for press freedom.”
It said Russia “has become a specialist in using laws designed to combat terrorism, separatism and extremism to restrict press freedom,” and held 48 journalists behind bars as of this month.
RSF noted that post-Assad Syria saw the biggest improvement in press freedom, climbing 36 places in the ranking.
RSF is the acronym for the group’s original French name,Reporters sans frontières. It was founded in France in 1985.
