Why Media Freedom Matters to Business in Myanmar
Vicky Bowman and Thompson Chau have an Op-Ed in Frontier Magazine today to celebrate World Media Freedom Day.
It builds on the talk they gave to the Myanmar-Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce and Industry in February, and highlights the findings of the preliminary round of scoring for the Pwint Thit Sa 2020 report which found that 58% of the 277 companies assessed have functioning websites (up from 56% in 2019), but that only 30 companies have updated their websites in the last year.
If companies maintain up-to-date online information about their governance and business activities, this facilitates accurate business reporting. With the world now going online to work, now is the time business leaders to check their company website is accurate and complete.
