NoteThe source confirms the three flagship reports and their coverage numbers: Freedom in the World (195 countries + 13 territories, since 1973), Freedom on the Net (72 countries), and Nations in Transit (29 countries, with 2024 as final edition). However, the source does not address the additional context about the Freedom of the Press report (1980-2017, now discontinued). The claim's statement that Nations in Transit ran '1996-2024' is not explicitly confirmed in the source—the source only confirms the 2024 final edition and the 29 countries assessed, but does not state the start year of 1996. The source also does not explicitly state 'as of 2025' for the overall program description, though the 2025 edition of Freedom on the Net is mentioned as 'now live.' The core data points about the three reports and their country/territory counts are confirmed, but the historical dates and discontinuation of Freedom of the Press remain unverified by this source.

NoteThe source confirms the three flagship reports and their coverage numbers (195 countries + 13 territories for Freedom in the World; 72 countries for Freedom on the Net; 29 countries for Nations in Transit). It confirms Freedom in the World since 1973. However, the source indicates Nations in Transit 2024 is the 'Final Edition' but does not explicitly state the program ran from 1996-2024. The claim about Freedom of the Press (1980-2017, discontinued) is not addressed in the provided source text, making that portion unverifiable from this excerpt. The core numerical claims are confirmed, but the historical date range for Nations in Transit is not explicitly verified.
