The year has been bad for journalism around the world according to the latest Reporters Without Borders ranking.
BFM Story is broadcasting this Tuesday evening an investigation on Didier Raoult which was not easy to carry out because of the omerta around the infectious disease specialist.
Darius Rochebin on LCI returns to LCI on Monday and Sébastien Thoen arrives on France 3.
More and more restrictions and hindrances for journalists last year
This is what emerges from the annual ranking of Reporters Without Borders published on Tuesday.
The association says journalism is “blocked” in nearly ¾ of the countries it has assessed, 130 in total.
In question: two factors, one structural (the political regime of these countries), the other structural (the health crisis).
RSF stresses that some countries even deny the existence of the virus on their territory such as North Korea or Turkmenistan, at the bottom of the ranking.
At the top, no change, the Nordic countries: in order: Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark… They are part of the 12 countries that RSF classifies as a white zone, a category which indicates that the environment is favorable to the information.
Germany, 13th, is no longer part of it this year.
France had already left it, it is only 34th, like last year, because the freedom of the press has also been hampered.
Darius Rochebin back on LCI on April 26

A very sensitive subject - as was able to realize it, Manon Bachelot, director of the documentary.
