Mizzima News (Burmese: မဇ္ဈိမသတင်း, romanizedMa.jjhi.ma.) is a Burmese multimedia news organisation. A member of Burma News International, a local news coalition, Mizzima was established in exile in 1998, before establishing a bureau in Myanmar in the 2010s, as the military junta transitioned to semi-democratic rule.[1]

Organisation[edit]

Mizzima Media Co. Ltd. is a registered Myanmar company. It produces a daily digital Mizzima newspaper in Burmese language, a weekly Mizzima business magazine, weekly television programs – aired by Myanma Radio & Television (MRTV) – and websites in both the Burmese and English language. Additionally, Mizzima media products are also available on various digital platforms such as Android and iPhones.

History[edit]

It was established in August 1998 by a group of Burmese journalists in exile in New Delhi, India.[2]

After the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, military junta revoked the operating licenses of Mizzima, and four other media outlets, namely Myanmar Now, Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), Khit Thit Media, and 7Day News, amidst the ongoing protests.[3]

Awards[edit]

The International Press Institute awarded Mizzima News its Free Media Pioneer award in 2007.[4]
