Reporters Without Borders (Reporters Sans Frontières), a France-based non-governmental organization which promotes freedom of information and the press, has ranked Poland #18 out of 180 countries in their 2015 World Press Freedom Index, with a score of 12.71.

Northern Europe dominates the top of the list (Finland’s score: 7.52), while the bottom is largely populated by communist and African regimes (Eritrea, the lowest, scores 84.86).

This marks a Polish advance by one position over last year, when it was #19. It’s also Poland’s highest rank since the first report in 2002, when it was #29. (The low point was 2006, when it was ranked #58.)
