ISLAMABAD:

Pakistan's ranking improved by seven places in the 2023 World Press Freedom Index released by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) as the country was placed at 150th position among 180 countries.

While citing the reason for the improvement in Pakistan's position from 157 in 2022 to 150 this year, RSF noted that Pakistan achieved the improved ranking because, after the change of government in 2022, constraints on the media were loosened.

It is a significant achievement as compared to last year when Pakistan came down to 157 in 2022 from its ranking of 145 in 2021 and the then prime minister Imran Khan was declared a press freedom predator along with Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi.

Arshad Khattak | 1 year ago | Reply It s a shame that journalists are being killed haunted and persecuted across Pakistan and media channels are taken off air for showing PTI related content yet this organization says that restrictions on media have been loosened. Yes they have been loosened only for pro govt media.
syed Muzaffar | 1 year ago | Reply Wrong report. Imported rulers killed Arshad Sharif jailed several journalists and Express Tribune is covering up government crimes by running fake news.
