To systematically monitor the use of hate speech through media, PEN Myanmar has been conducting a conflict sensitive media monitoring project, the group said in a statement on 12 January to announce the release of their report ‘Hate Speech:A Study of Print, Movies, Songs and Social Media in Myanmar.’
The project focussed on broadcast media (primarily songs and movies), social media (Facebook) and print media (newspapers, journals, and magazines) from January 2015 to 10 November 2015.
Overall, about 153 Facebook pages were monitored on a daily basis (see graphic). During the observation period, the number of accounts had to be increased depending on the political context of the country. At least 60 % of the pages were active. (Courtesy of Mizzima)
