This year's annual ranking of 180 countries according to the ability of journalists to report freely on their countries shows that while no African nation is among the eight countries where the state of press freedom is "good", none of the G7 grouping of nations fall into that category either.

The 2022 index judges press freedom as "satifactory" in seven African nations: Seychelles (ranked at 13 in the world), Namibia (ranked at 18), South Africa (35), Cape Verde (36), Cote d'Ivoire (37), Burkina Faso (41) and Sierra Leone (46).
