A record number of journalists were imprisoned worldwide in 2022, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. “It’s gotten worse everywhere.”
Note: Figures represent a snapshot as of Dec. 1 and do not include journalists jailed and released throughout the year.“It’s gotten worse everywhere,” said Jodie Ginsberg, the CPJ’s president. “Even in countries that profess to have a free press and an independent press, journalists face an array of threats.”
Press-freedom organization Reporters Without Borders said a record 28 countries had “very serious” press-freedom situations last year, up from 21 in 2021. Journalists in those countries may be censored, surveilled or pressured against writing certain stories, according to the organization.
