In March of this year, an FCCT delegation convened a meeting
with the major Myanmar media associations in Yangon to discuss the
changing media landscape and the prospect of forming a
press club there.

Now delegates from the Myanmar media on a trip to Thailand will stop by the club for a panel and share their views on the rapidly changing media market, the new daily newspapers starting up in the country, online and social media forums and the Myanmar Press Council.
