[FoME] Media in Myanmar: "Change is in the Air"

[Christoph Dietz]

Change is in the air: an assessment of media development challenges and
opportunities in Myanmar
Copenhagen: International Media Support (IMS), 2012, 34 p.

Aus dem "Executive Summary":

At the request of the Norwegian, Swedish and subsequently Danish
Embassies in Bangkok, International Media Support (IMS) conducted an
assessment of the current media environment inside Myanmar during two
missions between July and November 2011. The assessment was motivated by
a democratic reform process initiated in March 2011 when the 50-year
reign of the military was replaced by a civilian government. A number of
small steps taken so far by the Myanmar government in relation to media
have provided an opening to expand the country’s freedom of expression
space. The objective of the assessment was thus to identify
opportunities and provide a set of recommendations for potential
international interventions on media development within the country for
the short and long-term perspective.
