The reform process under President Thein Sein, who took office two years ago this month, has included the abolition of direct censorship of local media. On Monday, independent daily newspapers published for the first time since 1964. The opening of AP's bureau in Myanmar follows by a little more than a year the opening of a bureau providing text stories and photos from Pyongyang, North Korea, which made AP the first Western news organization to operate fully in all media time in the mostly shrouded state. AP previously had a video news office in the country since 2006. Founded in 1846 and headquartered in New York City, the AP provides news in print, photos, video, mobile and online. It is an independent, not-for-profit news cooperative owned by member newspapers and broadcasters in the United States and operating from 280 locations in 110 countries around the world.
