Ok maybe a very stupid question but
Isn't that gramatically incorrect? Shouldn't it be "The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders announced on Thursday"?
I see this kind of writing a lot in news articles so surely it's not actually wrong, but that's not how I was taught English writing.
It's a bit stilted and no-one would speak like that (at least without sounding pretentious), but it's not bad grammar.
Also, shame on the moron that downvoted you for asking a question.
I really don't see why you would think this.
Completely normal thing I would expect to hear.
Yeah just depends what you're emphasizing. It could be that Thursday is particularly important so it gets moved up to the second piece of info delivered
