   Journalists across the globe are coming under unprecedented attacks from   
   governments, media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has warned.   
      
   In its annual report, the RSF said authorities were becoming more aggressive   
   towards reporters.   
      
   And it warned that public hostility towards the press was increasing as a   
   result of fake news and disinformation.   
      
   According to the RSF, 55 journalists and four media workers were killed at   
   work in 2022.   
      
   The report warned that the environment for journalism was "bad" in an   
   unprecedented seven out of ten countries.   
      
   Among those that fell on the rankings was India - the world's largest   
   democracy - that is now placed at 161 out of 180 countries.   
      
   The report found that many journalists who were critical of the Indian Prime   
   Minister Narendra Modi and his government were subjected to harassment by his   
   supporters.
