Abstract

The article examines the activities of the World Press Index of the Reporters Without Borders organization, which evaluates press freedom around the world. The main indicators of the index and their content were analyzed from the point of view of political, economic, social, legal and security. It was determined what methods are used in the ranking of countries for evaluating the activities of journalists. Information was collected about the results of the index for 2023, in particular, the result of Uzbekistan. Information about the team of experts evaluating the creation of the world press index was given. The activity of the index was assessed and promising proposals were developed to improve the rating of Uzbekistan.
