Singapore’s Ranking Drops To 160 On World Press Freedom Index Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has recently ranked Singapore’s press freedom 160 out of 180 in the 2021 World Press Freedom Index. RSF is a non-profit organisation that states their mission is to preserve the freedom of information around the world, as well as to protect journalists. This may come as a surprise to you – or not – but the irony here is that news about our ranking was notably absent on our mainstream media. ST published an article regarding the 2021 press freedom index, but omitted any mention of Singapore. Meanwhile, Channel NewsAsia and TODAY chose not report on the 2021 World Press Freedom ranking at all.
