April 30th, 2008 | In Worth Knowing
Only 18% of the people live in a country whose press is rated “free” by Freedom House. You may be heartened a bit by the fact that that’s actually 36% or the countries, but it still seems a terribly sad state of affairs. A map (PDF) is available as well.
Also of note, The Economist’s Asia.view column examines how censorship has changed in recent years.
