Indeks Kemerdekaan Pers merupakan inisiatif dan kerja panjang Dewan Pers sejak tahun 2010. Indeks Kemerdekaan Pers muncul sebagai respon dari belum ditemukannya sebuah indikator yang secara memadai menggambarkan persoalan kemerdekaan pers di Indonesia, sekaligus memunculkan pencapaian-pencapaian positif yang telah dihasilkan oleh Indonesia.

Hasil Indeks Kemerdekaan Pers 2016 menunjukkan bahwa Indeks Kemerdekaan Pers Indonesia berada dalam posisi agak bebas (62.81) baik pada bidang hukum, politik dan ekonomi. Indeks Kemerdekaan Pers kumulatif di 24 provinsi di Indonesia berada dalam posisi agak bebas. Posisi ini tidak cukup aman karena ‘hanya’ dua indikator-utama yang relatif aman. Dari 19 indikator utama, terdapat lima indikator yang mengancam memperburuk kemerdekaan pers, yaitu (a) independensi media dari kelompok kepentingan (56.14); (b) tata kelola perusahaan (57.63); (c) independensi lembaga peradilan (59.33); (d) etika pers (60.85); dan (e) kehadiran lembaga penyiaran publik (61.25). Disisi lain, dari 71 indikator non utama terdapat 19 indikator (26.74%) dinilai baik. Kesembilan belas indikator tersebut mengindikasikan berkurangnya campur tangan negara dan pelembagaan akses informasi seperti kebebasan berserikat, kebebasan dari kriminalisasi dan intimidasi, akses atas informasi publik dan keragaman kepemilikan. Sembilan [9] indikator lainnya atau 14.08 % yang menyangkut (a) akses kelompok rentan pada media, (b) penghargaan pemerintah terhadap profesionalitas media dan (c) ketergantungan perusahaan pers pada kelompok yang kuat berkualitas buruk dan atau buruk sekali.
