Mongolia ranks 73rd in World Press Freedom Index www.montsame.mn
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The 2020 World Press Freedom Index compiled by Reporters Without Borders was released on April 21. The annual report on press freedom of 180 countries reflects the growing animosity toward journalists.
Mongolia, which was ranked at 70th place, after being moved up by one place last year, went down by three places and is ranked at 73 this year.
The report told that the overall environment for the media in Mongolia has improved in recent years, especially as a result of the state media’s transformation from government mouthpieces into public services. But media ownership is very concentrated and most media are affiliated to political parties, which curtails the emergence of independent media.
Whether state or privately-owned, the media are under pressure from politicians and their ability to act as watchdogs is limited by the government’s lack of transparency and its susceptibility to criticism by the imperfect media legislation.
