Press freedom index in Jamaica 2015-2024

After peaking at 90.04 in 2021, the press freedom index of Jamaica decreased to 77.3 in 2024. Owing to the increase, the Caribbean nation had the first-best press freedom index in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2024. The indicator presents an overview of the plurality and independence of the media and how safe and free it is for journalists to do their job, with lower scores indicating a worse situation for the press and higher scores a better one.

2021年，牙买加的媒体自由指数达到峰值90.04，然而至2024年，该指数降至77.3。得益于这一增长，加勒比海国家在2024年成为了拉丁美洲及加勒比地区媒体自由指数的首位。该指标全面概述了媒体的多元化和独立性，以及记者在执行职责时的安全与自由程度，其中较低的分值暗示了媒体环境的恶化，而较高的分值则预示着媒体环境的改善。
