We all know of Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand as one of the first two to climb the world’s highest summit, Mt Everest. He also had another feather on his cap: He was the first person to have reached the three extremes – Mt Everest, the North Pole and the South Pole. Thus, the Three Poles Challenge was born.

The Press Freedom Index is an annual ranking of countries released by Reporters Without Borders (Reporters Sans Frontières in French), a Paris-based organization that defends and promotes freedom of information and freedom of the press, based upon the organization’s assessment of press freedom records of the countries in the previous year. It measures the degree of freedom enjoyed by the journalists, news organizations and cybercitizens in each country, and the efforts they make in respect of that freedom. The report is based on a questionnaire and certain observations carried out by Reporters Without Borders correspondents in the competing countries. The smaller the score, the greater the freedom of the press.
