Myanmar Alin (Burmese: မြန်မာ့အလင်း; also known as Myanma Alinn) is a state-run Burmese language daily newspaper and the longest running newspaper in circulation in Myanmar.
[1][2][3] Myanmar Alin was founded as a magazine by U Shwe Kyu[4] (Burmese: ဦးရွှေကြူး) and published by Ledi Pandita U Maung Gyi in 1914 during the British colonial era in Yangon.
The paper was nationalised in 1969 by General Ne Win's military government.
The front and back pages of all Burmese newspapers are almost all government-related news.
Papers are read not for the news but for advertisements and announcements like weddings and obituaries.
