DVB Chief Editor Aye Chan Naing on the Insight Myanmar Podcast
This episode of Insight Myanmar Podcast is appearing in the DVB English News feed since it features an interview with DVB founder Aye Chan Naing. It has been edited for brevity.
Episode #284: Aye Chan Naing is a pioneering journalist and activist dedicated to independent media in Myanmar. He co-founded the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) in the years following the military’s violent crackdown during the 1988 student-led uprising.
He was drawn to activism after witnessing the brutality of the regime. After fleeing to the Thai-Burma border, he joined the All Burma Students’ Democratic Front but soon found his passion in journalism, inspired by figures like Swedish journalist, Bertil Lintner.
In 1992, he launched DVB as a shortwave broadcaster based in Norway with support from the government there. He aimed to provide a voice for the pro-democracy movement and challenge the military’s grip on information.
DVB became a vital link for the Burmese people, offering an independent perspective at a time when the government tightly controlled the media. The organization expanded from radio to multimedia, amplifying voices that were otherwise silenced. In 2012, DVB returned to Myanmar following political reforms, but Aye Chan Naing faced obstacles under Aung San Suu Kyi’s administration, which limited media access and failed to foster an open environment.
The situation worsened after the 2021 military coup, forcing DVB back into exile. Despite severe challenges, DVB continues to operate using underground reporters inside Myanmar. “When you have a microphone, you can say whatever you want, right? But if we’re doing exactly the same as the Burmese military, we are no different,” he says. “The more we studied, the more we learned about journalism. And it has to be about the people.”
John Quinley III on international accountability for the Myanmar military's crimes

John Quinley III is the director at Fortify Rights. He joined us in the newsroom to discuss international accountability for crimes committed by the Myanmar military.
