Description According to the document describing the Press Freedom Index 2010 methodology, “The Reporters Without Borders index measures the violations of press freedom in the world. It reflects the degree of freedom that journalists and news organisations enjoy in each country, and the efforts made by the authorities to respect and ensure respect for this freedom.” This dataset compiles annual scores for 179 countries during 2002-2010. A long and wide versions of the data are provided in Stata format (dta), along with the 2010 methodology document. A zip file contains the raw annual tab-delimited text files and a Stata dofile that compiles these into the aggregate long and wide files.
