Portfolio
This article focuses on how, in Myanmar, people usually travel back to their hometowns during long public holidays. During those periods, bus and airline ticket prices are often raised much higher than usual. As a result, travelers face increased expenses and financial difficulties, and the article highlights these problems.
After the article was published, some transportation companies responded by offering free services. Knowing that the news reports, articles, and programs I produced were always centered on the public—and hearing that even small improvements came from them—made me value and cherish my work as a journalist even more.
This entire program was done by me. I worked on it when I was in Myanmar, at a news agency where I was employed at the time. Back then, when the government raised electricity tariff rates, many people in Myanmar could not afford the increased costs. Small and medium-sized business owners also began facing difficulties, each according to their own situation.
Because of that, as a reporter, I personally went into the field and reported on how the government’s increased electricity tariffs were causing hardships for the public. After the program was aired, there were internal discussions and criticisms within the Ministry of Electricity regarding my report. Once the authorities realized that the public could not afford the increased costs, they announced that the electricity tariff hike would be temporarily suspended.
What I want to say is that I produced and broadcast news programs and reports that were meant to benefit the public.
