It was one of the first media outlets to develop a paid membership model, working towards financial sustainability and building community with the public.

Since then, over 26,000 people have been arrested by the junta and more than 4,700 killed. Armed resistance has spread throughout the country, displacing over 2 million people. Journalists are at great risk inside the country. The public has become more reluctant to talk to the media.<\/p>\n<p>Against this difficult backdrop, in 2023 Doh Athan produced human rights podcasts not only in Burmese, but now also in English. The team regularly produces and publishes videos in both languages. \u2018Doh Athan Doh Talk\u2019, a discussion podcast with experts, academics and activists was launched. Its aim is to offer the Burmese public balanced debates on human rights issues, more in-depth and with more analysis than can be provided in other programmes. Doh Athan has also produced special reports (interviews, mini-videos, etc.) to mark certain dates, such as Human Rights Day, six years after the atrocities committed against the Rohingya and their exodus to Bangladesh.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>We make our voices heard, and so does Doh Athan. We\u2019re not a media company, so we can\u2019t produce a good podcast, but we feel that Doh Athan does that for us.<\/strong><br \/>\nNang Moet Moet, General Secretary of the Women\u2019s League of Burma<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Podcasts and videos are broadcast on social networks (Facebook, YouTube, Soundcloud, Spotify) as well as on partner websites and social media. The number of subscribers on Facebook and YouTube more than doubled in 2023. Podcasts are also broadcast on shortwave and FM by our partner Voice of America.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, Doh Athan worked with five local media partners and six freelancers, supporting them in their reporting and paying them for their work. This helps support Myanmar\u2019s media, improve their skills and offer the public reports from different parts of the country. Webinars on human rights and discrimination have also been organized with these partners.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;floatingColumn&#8221;][vc_column_text]Fondation Hirondelle and Frontier Myanmar have been collaborating since 2017 to produce and broadcast Doh Athan (\u201cOur Voices\u201d), a podcast focused on human rights issues.
