11 Worst Countries for Journalists in 2015

6. Ethiopia

Score – 14

Censorship isn’t exactly a foreign concept in Ethiopia and the country lands on the fourth place on the chart released by the Committee to Protect Journalists. With little independent media to talk of, before the May 2015 elections state officials cracked down on these too, arresting journalists, intimidating those that remained free. Online censorship is also taking place as the sole Internet provider is owned by the state-controlled telecommunications company and they’ll suspend critical news websites whenever they see fit.
