An index released this week marking World Press Freedom day warned that media freedom is under threat in more countries than ever before.Reporters Without Borders - who compiled the index - say the environment for journalism is 'bad' in seven out of ten countries. In Africa the situation is classified as 'bad' in nearly 40 percent of countries and the Sahel region in particular is said to be in the process of becoming a 'no-news zone'.
