A round of applause for Mizzima, everyone!

AFP reports that the International Press Institute (IPI) on Tuesday handed its annual Free Media Pioneer award to Myanmar's exiled news agency Mizzima News.

Despite a "clampdown on anybody who provides information to foreign news outlets" by Myanmar's military government, "Mizzima News has continued to provide accurate and timely news and information on Burma for both Burmese and English readers and viewers," the IPI said.

I have been reading Mizzima since 2004, I believe and I admire what they do. They are linked under News on Burma and the Region on the right hand side of this blog.

Congrats again for the good work.
