This is several spots behind Pakistan and Afghanistan, which have improved their rankings this year at positions 150 and 152, respectively. Countries ranked lower than India include Bangladesh (163), Turkey (165), Saudi Arabia (170), and Iran (177). The index was published today, May 3, which is also World Press Freedom Day.

Of the five, India’s ranking was lowest in the safety of journalists category (172) and best in the social indicator category (143).
