Interesting list. Wow...U.S. at 36. Go go First Amendment! Too much big money involved in the media I guess.

Without looking at methods, I'd assume we are hurt by things like Judith Miller being sent to jail for failing to reveal a confidential source and things like the McCain-Feingold assault on political speech.  Also, campus speech codes and the like that lead to censorship.  And of course the censorship of scary things like sex.

 

Since when does campus speech codes and sex have to do with press freedom?

I'd really like for the report to be less vague. They sent out questionaires to members of the RWB and rights activisits...I'd really like to know what the questions were, and who answered them.
