85% Informative

A median of 61% of adults across 35 countries say having freedom of the press in their country is very important.

But only 28% say the media are completely free to report the news.

In every country surveyed except Singapore , a majority of adults say that made-up news and information is at least a moderately big problem.

Global attitudes toward both of these freedoms in 2024 are similar to what they were in 2015 .

In 24 of the 35 countries surveyed, adults with more education are especially likely to say having media that can report the news without state interference is very important.

Social media users are more likely than non-users to say they have complete freedom on the internet in 12 countries.
