Renowned philanthropist Warren Buffett once said “The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves - and the better the teacher, the better the student body.” This is indeed true. The next country on the index is-
Liechtenstein:

In 2011 New Zealand was ranked 13th globally in press freedom by Freedom House, with the second freest media in the Asia-Pacific region after Palau.
