The Democratic Voice of Burma ((ビルマ語:ဒီမိုကရေတစ်မြန်မာ့အသံ), abbreviated DVB) is a non-profit media organization based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Run by Burmese expatriates, it makes radio and television broadcasts aimed at providing uncensored news and information about Burma, the country's military regime, and its political opposition. In July 1992, DVB began broadcasting programming into Burma from studios in Oslo, Norway'and transmitting via shortwave radio from the Norwegian transmitter at Kvitsoy. Now the broadcast is sent via satellite. According to DVB, these broadcasts reach millions of listeners. On May 28, 2005, DVB expanded its programming and began satellite television broadcasts into the country. The organization stated that it hoped to reach some ten million Burmese through this new effort (which it claims is the first free and independent Burmese language television channel), which was funded in part by non-governmental organizations such as Free Voice of the Netherlands, the National Endowment for Democracy, and the Freedom of Expression Foundation. ==Mission== DVB states that it has four primary goals: *the provision of "accurate and unbiased news to the people of Burma" *to "promote understanding and cooperation" among Burma's religious and ethnic populations *to "encourage and sustain independent public opinion" and to provide for "social and political debate" *to "impart the ideals of democracy and human rights" to the Burmese people 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Democratic Voice of Burma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
