Burma News Project — Community News Initiative
A community-powered platform monitoring, translating, and archiving news from Burma (Myanmar) across social media and news feeds — in one open, searchable place. Built with crowdfunded support. Sustained by people who care. Support independent Burmese media by funding them!
About the Project
Burma News Archive is an independent monitoring and archiving project dedicated to tracking news and information emerging from Burma (Myanmar). It aggregates content from Facebook pages, Twitter/X accounts, Telegram channels, and RSS feeds — sources that are often fragmented, fleeting, or difficult to search — into a single, persistent archive.
The platform provides automated translation between Burmese and English, enabling researchers, journalists, civil society organisations, and the wider diaspora community to follow events on the ground without language barriers. All archived content is timestamped, tagged, and fully searchable.
We pull from Facebook public pages, Twitter/X accounts, Telegram channels, and standard RSS feeds. If it's public and relevant, it can be archived. We will do our best.
Every item is stored with its original source, timestamp, and language. Full-text search lets you find what you need, even months or years later.
Automated translation tools help surface Burmese-language content to international audiences — and vice versa — in near real-time.
New feeds are added via community submissions. If you know a source we should be watching, you can submit it directly through this site.
The Archive
The archive holds a continuously growing record of news, updates, and dispatches from Burma — spanning political developments, humanitarian conditions, armed conflict, diaspora voices, and civil society reporting. All content is free to access.
Use the search interface to filter by date, source, platform, language, or keyword. You can also browse by channel or tag for a more curated view.
Submit a Feed
The archive grows through community contribution. If you follow a Facebook page, Twitter/X account, Telegram channel, or RSS feed that carries relevant Burma news, submit it below. Our team will review all submissions and add approved sources to the monitoring pipeline.
Support the Project
Burma News Archive was built entirely on the goodwill and generosity of its early supporters. There was no grant, no institution, no corporate backing — just people who believed that independent, open-access monitoring of Burma mattered enough to make it happen.
The initial crowdfunding campaign covered the development costs needed to get the platform off the ground. To everyone who contributed in those early days: this archive exists because of you. ♥
Thank you for your contributions!
Running the archive has ongoing costs. Servers, bandwidth, API access for translation services, and the time needed to maintain and moderate the platform don't disappear after launch. If this resource is useful to you, please consider contributing — even a small amount helps keep the lights on.
