Security & Strategic Review - December 2021
REGION: Mixed picture for press freedom in Southern Cone
The Inter American Press Association (Iapa), a press freedom watchdog based in Miami, held its 77th General Assembly from 19-22 October during which it presented the results of the 2021 Chapultepec Index, a measurement of press freedom which is now in its second year, and which the Iapa produces with Venezuela’s Universidad Católica Andrés Bello. The latest Chapultepec Index reveals a mixed picture for press freedom in the Brazil & Southern Cone sub-region, with some of the countries listed as having ‘full freedom of expression’, while freedom of expression is considered ‘highly restricted’ in others.
