Media Censorship


The Dutch generally enjoy absolute freedom in terms of censorship in the media. Compared to other European nations, freedom of the press in the Netherlands ranks fairly high. Freedom house placed the Netherlands as the eigth best in terms of press freedom.

The ranking placed the Netherlands above countries like the United States and England, as well as Germany, Belgium and France. The amount of freedom allows the Dutch to be open with the flow of information, and can only be a positive thing for the media industries.
