Mizzima News is a Burmese multimedia news organisation. It was established in August 1998 by a group of Burmese journalists in exile in New Delhi. The International Press Institute awarded Mizzima News its Free Media Pioneer award in 2007
Mizzima Media has been committed to conveying the truth about the Myanmar crisis since the military grabbed power in a coup a year ago. Our team of dedicated staff have faced serious hurdles over the last 12 months as they worked to make sure they continued to broadcast news – from the streets of the cities to the “liberated areas” of the country – in online reports, TV broadcasts, and social media outreach. This video pays tribute to Mizzima's team members who sacrificed and worked together in the fight for media freedom and democracy.
