O artigo analisa os principais desafios metodológicos colocados pelos dois indicadores mais importantes para medir a liberdade de imprensa no mundo. Freedom House (FH) e Repórteres Sem Fronteiras (RSF) tornaram-se referência para estudos que vão além da liberdade de imprensa, e sua importância nos obriga a analisar os aspetos metodológicos que determinam essas metodologias e que são omitidos. Os resultados deste estudo, ao analisar-se a avaliação dos países latino-americanos nos índices RSF e FH, nos permitem determinar que esses instrumentos apresentam graves deficiências metodológicas que, embora se tenham tentado corrigir, continuam a ser fonte de inúmeras controvérsias, como a ausência de mecanismos de proteção dos jornalistas em seus instrumentos de medição. |
