Press Freedom Index: Economic context

This indicator aims to evaluate: - economic constraints linked to governmental policies (including the difficulty of creating a news media outlet, favouritism in the allocation of state subsidies, and corruption); - economic constraints linked to non-state actors (advertisers and commercial partners); - economic constraints linked to media owners seeking to promote or defend their business interests.
