According to the 2014 World Press Freedom Index published by Reporters Without Borders, the two countries that showed the greatest decline in press freedom that year were:

1. Egypt - which declined 26 places from the previous year's ranking, due to the government's crackdown on media outlets and journalists critical of the regime.

2. Libya - which declined 17 places from the previous year, due to the ongoing conflict and the danger faced by journalists covering the conflict.

It's worth noting that press freedom can fluctuate significantly from year to year, and that the index reflects the situation at a specific moment in time and can be influenced by many factors such as political stability, media ownership, censorship, and violence against journalists.
