Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is an international non-profit organization founded in 1985. Its primary mission is to promote and defend freedom of the press worldwide. RSF works to protect journalists from censorship, violence, and imprisonment, advocating for their rights and safety in various countries.
The organization publishes an annual World Press Freedom Index, ranking countries based on their press freedom levels. This index highlights the challenges faced by journalists and raises awareness about the importance of a free and independent media in democratic societies. RSF also provides support to journalists in distress and campaigns for media rights globally.
