Operationalization
Potential freedom is about access to information on possible options for choice. It is measured using internet use, which is the availability of internet users per 1000 people as defined by the United Nations United Development Reports (2007) (Table 13), and newspaper use, which is the newspaper consumption per 1000 people as defined by the United Nations United Development Reports (1998) (Table 34).
