Can anyone provide:

1. What factors were used in deriving this list?

2. Who funds this project?

I can't find it anywhere on their site.

1. Click on the "World Press Freedom Index" link in the first sentence of the article, then click on the "METHODOLOGY" link in the subheader (black and white bar).

2. Google gives multiple cited sources:
