Well done Singapore, we've achieved yet another milestone — sinking to a new bottom in this year's World Press Freedom Index, making it the fourth consecutive year tumbling down the ranks.
Now landing at the dismal ranking of 154 out of 180 countries, the little red dot's journalistic freedom and independence is deemed under intense attack in the past year. The index is based on an evaluation of media freedom that measures pluralism, media independence, quality of legal framework and safety of journalists — and we're not doing well in those aspects. In comparison, Singapore was ranked 153rd in 2015, 150th in 2014 and 135th in 2012.
