Spotlight on the continued decline of press freedom globally

Press freedom has fallen to its lowest level in 25 years. That warning comes from Reporters Without Borders — also known as RSF — which released its annual index ahead of World Press Freedom Day this Sunday. To mark the occasion, one of RSF’s partners, Cartooning for Peace, has released a series of short animated films based on cartoons by three artists from its global network, including work by Russian cartoonist Mikhail Zlatkovsky, Canadian cartoonist Serge Chapleau Coté, and Turkish artist Zehra Doğan. Thibaut Bruttin, Director General of Reporters Without Borders, speaks to France 24 about press freedom nowadays.
