Malaysia moves up 19 notches in press freedom
Nation better than others in region, says Reporters Without Borders
KUALA LUMPUR: PRESS freedom has improved in Malaysia, according to the 2011-2012 Press Freedom Index published by Reporters Without Borders.
The France-based organisation placed Malaysia at 122nd, up from 141 in 2010.
Malaysia shares the 122th spot with Algeria and Tajikistan, and is ahead of neighbours Brunei, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia.
The first place is shared by Finland and Norway while the bottom two places are taken up by North Korea and Eritrea. A total of 179 countries are part of the report.
The index is an annual ranking of countries compiled and published by Reporters Without Borders based upon its assessment of their press freedom records.
It reflects the degree of freedom journalists and news organisations enjoy in each country, and the efforts made by the state to respect and ensure respect for this freedom.
The index is calculated through a questionnaire with 43 criteria for assessing the state of press freedom in each country. This is sent to partner organisations of Reporters Without Borders and its 130 correspondents around the world, as well as to journalists, researchers, jurists and human rights activists.
The Statistics Institute of the University of Paris provided assistance and advice in processing the data reliably.
National Union of Journalists (NUJ) secretary-general V. Anbalagan, when contacted, said the jump showed that press freedom in the country had improved as people now had many avenues to express their views.
He said the authorities should use the ranking as a yardstick to improve the country's ranking in years to come.
"We must improve on our ranking and not sit contented with what we have now."
