Abstract

• The media is the essential one in the society and it supports not only for producing, gathering and disturbing news but also entertaining for the peoples. The media can affect the political, economic, social and religious security of a country. The effect of media can be negative or positive for the society. In a state, the media is controlled by various regulation systems. The media regulation system may be taking legal action, licensing, censoring and creating code of conduct. In Myanmar, there are many ways to regulate the media such as taking action by enacted law, licensing, examining by censor board and abiding the code of conduct created by related Councils. Most of the media regulation system is controlled by the state government but nowadays, self-regulatory bodies are also created and allow to regulate the media. In Myanmar, the authorities of licensing for all media such as press media, broadcasting media and digital media are solely controlled by the related Ministry. Myanmar Media regulation system can be seen as the strict regulation systems because of many national laws that can affect media sectors and controlling systems.
