India's ranking in the World Press Freedom Index 2024, published by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), has improved marginally to 159th position From 161 last year out of 180 countries. However, the country still lags behind neighbors like Turkey, , and Sri Lanka while Pakistan ranks at 152nd. The index highlights challenges faced by journalists, assessing factors like media independence, self-censorship, and transparency. Norway topped the list for press freedom, while Eritrea ranked last. India's modest improvement underscores the need for continued efforts to safeguard journalistic rights and promote an environment conducive to free and responsible reporting.
