I have worked hard consistently for having Community Radio in my home town, where I as the team leader, will start practicing whether it will go well. Thus, I have supported young people and the particular Journalists around Myanmar. When the government starts working with us, we should be ready. Journalists of three Media Agencies in Rakhine state are being supported personally and for the national big media, DVB (Democratic Voice of Burma) being supported.
With an initial approval by the Ministry of Information, a few programs has set about piloting a community radio outside of Yangon, with a view to share best practices with key stakeholders. Currently, there is no community media broadcasting in Myanmar, despite the need for more information, education, and voice to people in rural areas. At a glance, the broadcast law enables community media to broadcast. However, in practice the government needs to define licensing policies and procedures to enable community media broadcasting. So far, no further actions have been promised by the government.
When the government defines licensing policies and procedures, I hope that we would be able to make it but we need support. I may be reached by mailing at aungphro2009@gmail.com.
