Reporters Without Borders puts the US at 46th position in their Press Freedom Index. An awful lot of things can be turned into "national security" issues.


It's 32 now. So in other words, the year of the Snowden leaks actually improved their relative position in the press freedom index.


I'm getting 46 from this page, in the graph and in the text http://rsf.org/index2014/en-index2014.php - where are you seeing 32? I vaguely recall it being around 30 last year.


From here: http://en.rsf.org/press-freedom-index-2013,1054.html which is 2013. Since the page lacked a 2014, I assumed that because the year wasn't out they hadn't changed it.

How often is it updated?


Not sure - the page I got was from google, but also if you go through their front page. It looks like they don't go back and update the older pages.
