Members only content: Below is a list of countries we have profiled detailing Government influence on the media. Each country will display the type of Government, who is in charge, how much the Government controls the media and the political orientation of the country’s government. This is important as the political Orientation of the Government may dictate the bias of media in that country. This is a work in progress with the goal of profiling all 180 countries on the RSF list. See our profile of the USA and Afghanistan as an example. Check out our interactive world political orientation map.
