Georgia Ranked 115th in Freedom of the Press

Freedom House’s annual press freedom survey has tracked trends in media freedom worldwide for 2004.  The organization provides numerical rankings and rates each country’s media as “Free,” “Partly Free,” or “Not Free.”

The highest level of media freedom is in Denmark, followed by Sweden, Iceland, Belgium, Norway, and Switzerland. The countries labelled “Not Free” are North Korea, Cuba, Turkmenistan, Burma, and Libya. The country with the highest level of media freedom in CIS countries, and ranked 115th in the world is Georgia. This placed Georgia in the “Partly Free” category.
