Description
Since its 2010 elections, Myanmar's political transition from military junta to democratic rule has been remarkable. The process, though, is far from complete. In the context of a deeply rooted, intractable, and dynamic conflict landscape, this report addresses the role of Myanmar's national media in the country's political, social, and economic transition. Analysis focuses on three key conflicts: citizen-state, ethnic, and intercommunal. The report is based on a methodology developed by the United States Institute of Peace that is designed to help donors, local stakeholders, NGOs, and policymakers determine effective media initiatives to help mitigate conflict, build peace, and support non-media statebuilding efforts in Myanmar.
