2. North Korea
The state of the world we live in today is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that there are worst countries for journalists and freedom of the press than North Korea, one of the cruelest and most oppressive regimes in history. Opposition to Kim Jong-un is virtually non-existent and even the slightest hint of dissent will result in a harsh jail term, often served in one of the country’s several gulags. The lack of Internet access has made it almost impossible for the citizens of North Korea to receive any outside news and those who can access it on smuggled smartphones from China risk severe penalties if caught using them.
