5. Finland

WPF Index: 87.94

Finland ranks 5th in the World Press Freedom Index with a high score of 87.94 in 2023. The media in the country is vast, with strong public and private media outlets. While legal protections for press freedom are strong, the recent conviction of two journalists for revealing state secrets in January 2023 has raised concerns about the chilling effect on reporting national security issues. Finland’s legal framework protects source confidentiality and limits legal sanctions for media offenses.
