"Since 2001, Internews has trained and supported more than one thousand junior and senior journalists from all of Burma’s major ethnic groups, both those inside the country and those based outside, in print, radio, television, and online reporting. The cumulative effects of this close collaboration with journalists through a period of extreme censorship and tumultuous events are now coming to fruition as the new media environment takes shape. Internews-trained reporters and editors now occupy senior roles in prominent national print publications. They are familiar voices on ethnic and Burmese-language radio services; they are well known faces on television. Others have emerged as leaders in pivotal media associations, pushing the government to safeguard what most regard as still fragile media freedoms." (Introduction)
