Economic context component of Press Freedom Index. Questions asked for the economic context component aim to evaluate:
economic constraints linked to governmental policies (including the difficulty of creating a news media outlet, favouritism in the allocation of state subsidies, and corruption);
economic constraints linked to non-state actors (advertisers and commercial partners);
economic constraints linked to media owners seeking to promote or defend their business interests.
A subsidiary score ranging from 0 to 100 is calculated for each indicator. All of the subsidiary scores contribute equally to the global score. And within each indicator, all the questions and subquestions have equal weight.
