Countries Worst Scores According to Press Freedom Index

Updated 2024 The list used to include the two worst levels but press freedom has taken a nose dive in recent years so instead of listing half the countries I just listed the bottom 31 in 2021. Updatd in 2022, this time I listed the 27 countries considered most serious. And in 2023, I quit at the bottom 31. Its now 2024 and I've listed countries scoring less than 40 points which is considered "Very Serious"; numbering 36 countries. Add, delete and reorder for 2025, we're now up to 41 countries.
Press Freedom Index recognises a country that JetPunk does not.

Suprised Belarus didn't make the cut, that has some pretty strict censorship laws. Maybe even Russia. Not suprised to see Eritrea and North Korea take the top spots though.

Sorry, my mistake. I was going to add a caveat that the Press Freedom Index recognises a country that JetPunk does not. Caveat now added.
