Luxembourg is currently placed in the 20th spot on most recent publication of the Press Freedom Index on the Reporters Sans Frontieres website.
This is a sharp fall from its number two spot it was displayed in just a year ago. Luxembourg and other European countries are cited as reasons showing how countries with a low rank can no longer look up to Europe as the ideal media safe-haven for journalists being that many European countries have fell many places.
Other countries that drastically fell from spots were France, Croatia and Kazakhstan.
Luxembourg has come far since 2002 when it was accused by the European Court of Human Rights for violating a journalist's rights, by improving relations with media and being more aware of journalist's rights.
