I wonder why Mexico was omitted from both the article and map? Hasn't deaths/disappearances of journalists been running rampant there?


I'm not sure why that graphic excludes it, but they link to the source they're relying on, and they do seem to track it as well.

> ARTICLE 19 Mexico has its own methodology for tracking the freedom of expression situation in the country – they are not included in GxR rankings or any country-level analyses using the metric.

Which I think means basically "for historical reasons they are special". Shame though, cross country comparisons are interesting even if they are hard to do properly


Also Greenland and a couple of other Central/South American countries.

It's probably just areas they don't have good or reliable data for.
