摘要：The purpose of our paper is to study the correlations between the freedom of a country’s press and several development indicators of states, covering their economic dimension, the inequalities among their population, their educational system, their healthcare domain and governance quality, expressed as control of corruption. Working with an unbalanced panel data set for 196 countries for the 2000-2017 time period, our results support the idea that the higher the development of a country is, expressed through a higher per capita gross domestic product, less disparities among its population layers, better educational and healthcare indicators, a wider Internet usage and less corruption for its government, then the more freedom its media has.
