&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India&amp;rsquo;s ranking in the World Press Freedom Index fell from 142 in 2021 to 150 this year out of 180 countries, media watchdog Reporters Sans Fronti&amp;egrave;res said on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The organisation has been publishing the World Press Freedom Index since 2002. India&amp;rsquo;s rank has fallen to 150 in 2022 from 133 in 2016.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Among specific indicators, India&amp;rsquo;s rank this year was the highest in terms of the legislative indicator (120) and was the lowest in terms of the security indicator (163). The country had an overall score of 41.00, compared to 53.44 last year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Reporters Without Borders cited &amp;ldquo;violence against journalists, the politically partisan media and the concentration of media ownership&amp;rdquo; to state that press freedom is in crisis in India.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Originally a product of the anti-colonial movement, the Indian press used to be seen as fairly progressive but things changed radically in the mid-2010s, when Narendra Modi became prime minister and engineered a spectacular rapprochement between his party, the BJP, and the big families dominating the media,&amp;rdquo; Reporters Without Borders said.&lt;/p&gt;

India’s rank on World Press Freedom Index falls to 150 out of 180 countries

-Scroll.in Reporters Without Borders reiterated its last year’s description of the country as one of the world’s most dangerous ones for the media. India’s ranking in the World Press Freedom Index fell from 142 in 2021 to 150 this year out of 180 countries, media watchdog Reporters Sans Frontières said on Tuesday. The organisation has been publishing the World Press Freedom Index since 2002. India’s rank has fallen to 150 in 2022 from 133 in 2016. Among specific indicators, India’s rank this year was the highest in terms of the legislative indicator (120) and was the lowest in terms of the security indicator (163). The country had an overall score of 41.00, compared to 53.44 last year. Reporters Without Borders cited “violence against journalists, the politically partisan media and the concentration of media ownership” to state that press freedom is in crisis in India. “Originally a product of the anti-colonial movement, the Indian press used to be seen as fairly progressive but things changed radically in the mid-2010s, when Narendra Modi became prime minister and engineered a spectacular rapprochement between his party, the BJP, and the big families dominating the media,” Reporters Without Borders said.
