Today (December 21, 2017), Burma Link publishes the Burma/Myanmar Media Monitoring Database focusing on ethnic issues, particularly conflict, displacement, and related topics. Since May 2016, Burma Link has systematically documented publications by local and national news sources, non-governmental organizations and civil society organizations to this structured database.

The database is available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BehIVcUaVciJMR6mB2t2n0ki4W8y0oeJQVU-tHJB6WU/edit#gid=1244304955

The database is now freely available for public viewing. It provides day-by-day news monitoring and an extensive source of information and resources that can contribute to further news reporting, academic studies or independent research on Burma issues.

The following focus areas are covered: (1) Silencing of Human Rights Abuses; (2) Ethnic Unity and Disunity; (3) Displacement; (4) Peace Process; (5) Armed Conflict; (6) Human Rights; (7) International Issues Concerning Ethnic Nationalities. You can search the full database including entries in all focus areas, or browse entries in one focus area only. You can also conduct a search by keyword or by filtering dates and/or focus areas.
