"The New Light of Myanmar" (Daily) published in Rangoon (from
Burmese embassies, or by subscription(?)), is an important
source of information, particularly on foreign companies
interested in investing in Burma and on the SLORC self-image.
One way of keeping track of NLM is through the
"Burma Press Summary"
published by the Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies,

Studies Building, 910 South Fifth St, Champaign, Illinois

Myanmar". Usually appears a month or so after the month being

Airmail extra -- $18 Canada; $37 Europe; $47 Asia). Checks

military news on Burma, while the BBC's "Summary of World
Broadcasts" (SWB) is better for economic and investment
material.
