Among the eight of the nine States of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) that are included in this table published annually, which does not include São Tomé and Príncipe, Portugal is the only one marked in green.

Portugal rose two positions, to 7th place, thus returning to the group of eight countries with a "very good situation" in terms of freedom of the press, from which it had left last year.

Timor-Leste remains second among the Portuguese-speaking countries, but fell ten places to 20th, followed by Cape Verde, which also fell, to 41st position (33rd in 2023).

Brazil rose 10 places, to 82nd, having been replaced in 92nd position by Guinea-Bissau, which fell 14 positions compared to the previous year.

Angola, which last year was the worst ranked among the Portuguese-speaking countries on the press freedom map, rose 21 positions to 104th place (125th in 2023).

Mozambique registered a drop of three positions, now occupying 105th place, and Equatorial Guinea fell seven places to 127th position.

China, to which the Macau region belongs, rose to 172nd (179th in 2023), but remains among the 10 bottom countries.

The World Press Freedom Index, published annually by Reporters Without Borders, assesses the conditions for journalism in 180 countries and territories.
