Myanmar government on 20 August 2012 abolished censorship of the country's media. The reporters would no longer have to submit their work to state censors before publication. Burma had begun censorship on media on 6 August 1964.
The journalists were given permission to print without prior censorship and restrictions were lifted on 30000 internet sites, allowing users unrestricted access to political content for the first time.
