Livestation news channel broadcasts minority voices

Global internet TV news channel Livestation has announced that it now aims to support and broadcast news programmes created by those living in areas where freedom of expression is suppressed.

Livestation’s first official partner in its new mission is The Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), a Burmese non-profit media organisation.

DVB, run by Burmese people and based in Norway, began in 1992 broadcasting news over shortwave radio to the people of Burma.

Three years ago it expanded its broadcasts to include satellite TV.

Its goal is to reach 10 million Burmese with the first free, independent and unbiased Burmese language news channel.

Aims of the DVB are to:
Provide accurate and unbiased news to the people of Burma;
Promote understanding and cooperation amongst the various ethnic and religious groups of Burma;
Encourage and sustain independent public opinion and enable social and political debate; and
Impart the ideals of democracy and human rights to the people of Burma.
