ADS ARE THE MOST POPULAR CONTENT IN NEW MYANMAR PRO-GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS
January 23rd 2008 06:12
The Myanmar military is countering the media with the media, and local journalists in Mandalay said the authorities have given printing and publishing permits to several private weekly journals.
The new private journals are mostly biased in favour of the government's policies and carry several articles that support the junta's stance.
But Mizzima News reports that oddly the ads in the publications are of more interest to readers than the articles.
Mizzima said, “However, the journals' content are mainly filled with advertisements in order to boost sales as readers cannot be attracted to the articles and news content.”
If people click on the Niknayman blog, its webpage pulls up pornographic pictures and videos.
The Niknayman blog was one of the most active blog sites during the September uprising and put up several pictures of the demonstrations and videos depicting how the military government cracked down on the peaceful protesters and monks.
