Reporters Without Borders issues its 2007 annual press freedom survey

The survey, published on 1 February, reports on press freedom in 98 countries and includes the main violations of journalists' rights in 2006 and regional aspects of media and Internet freedom.

The report (in English, French, Spanish and Arabic) can be read at www.rsf.org and downloaded in its entirety or by region.

"The report lists the worst violations in repressive countries, including major culprits North Korea, Eritrea, Cuba and Turkmenistan, but also looks at democracies, where progress needs to be made too," the organisation says.
