The struggle for press freedom in Myanmar (feat. Adam Bemma)

In February 2021, when Myanmar's military junta staged a coup, they opened fire on civilians and arrested and killed journalists who sought to inform the world about the unfolding events. Fast forward to today, the regime’s brutal treatment of its own people persists, but so does the reporting by Myanmar's media outlets. Journalists continue to operate under extremely dangerous conditions, delivering uncensored news both within and beyond the country's borders.

This week, Adam Bemma from the independent underground broadcaster Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) talks about the challenges faced by independent media organizations and the rise of citizen journalists amid escalating violence against the press.
