Američka neovisna udruga Freedom House, koja prati stanje građanskih sloboda u svijetu, objavila je u ponedjeljak godišnji Izvještaj o slobodi medija u kojem ističe da je 2010. bila godina u kojoj je pristup slobodnim medijima imao najmanji broj ljudi na svijetu u više od deset godina, a Hrvatska je zadržala prošlogodišnje mjesto i ocjenu medijski “djelomično slobodne” zemlje.
U izvještaju “Sloboda medija 2011: Globalno istraživanje neovisnosti medija”, koje pokriva 196 zemalja svijeta i odnosi se na 2010., Hrvatska je svrstana na 85. mjesto s rejtingom 41 i statusom zemlje s “djelomično slobodnim” medijima.
The research found that only 15 percent of the world's population lives in countries with free media, while 42 percent have partially free media, and 43 percent live in countries with unfree media.
Freedom House daje ukupnu ocjenu od 0 (najbolje) do 100 (najgore) na temelju 23 metodološka pitanja i 109 pokazatelja. Zemlje imaju “slobodne” medije s ocjenama od 0 do 30, “djelomice slobodne”, od 31 do 60 i “neslobodne”, od 61 do 100.
Croatia is not specifically mentioned in the report, but in the section that discusses Central and Eastern Europe and the countries of the former Soviet Union, it is stated that the overall state of media freedom has remained unchanged.
At the same time, a decline in media freedom was recorded in the somewhat freer region of Central and Eastern Europe, while progress was recorded in Moldova, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan.
Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Russia remain countries with a worrying state of media freedom, and significant negative trends have been recorded in Hungary and Ukraine, according to the report, which ranked Croatia 12th out of 29 countries in the region.
Od zemalja jugoistočne Europe, ispred Hrvatske je Slovenija na 48. mjestu i rejtingom 25, kao jedina iz regije u kategoriji “slobodnih” zemalja. Srbija je 72. s rejtingom 33, a Crna Gora 80. s rejtingom 37.
Behind Croatia are Macedonia and BiH in 96th place with a total rating of 48, Albania in 102nd place with 50 and Kosovo in 104th place with a rating of 51.
The top of the world press freedom rankings this year is once again held by Scandinavian countries, with Finland at the top with a score of 10, followed by Norway and Sweden with a score of 11, while Burma, Eritrea, Libya, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and North Korea, which is last on the list with a score of 97, are at the bottom.
SAD je na 17. mjestu ljestvice s rejtingom 17, Rusija na 173. s rejtingom 81, a Kina 184. s ukupnom ocjenom 85. Među “djelomice slobodnim” zemljama su i tri članice Europske unije – Italija, Bugarska i Rumunjska, navodi se u izvještaju Freedom Housea.
According to the annual report, out of 196 countries analyzed, the media is free in 68, partly free in 65, and not free in 63.
