Organizace Reportéři bez hranic zveřejnila žebříček zemí podle míry svobody tisku za rok 2008.
V doprovodném textu se mimo jiné píše: „Není to hospodářská prosperita, ale mír, co podmiňuje svobodu tisku. To je nejdůležitější poučení, který si lze odnést z žebříčku zemí podle svobody tisku odnést. Dalším poznatkem, který je možno z dat vyčíst, je zjištění, že tlak mezinárodního společenství na autoritativní režimy nepřináší žádný znatelný efekt. (…) Je zřejmé, že svět se po 11. září změnil. Vůdčí demokratické země, destabilizované a v defenzívě, pomalu ale jistě omezují prostor pro svobodu tisku.“
V první dvacítce se z velké většiny umístily evropské státy, Česká republika je 16.
