Burma Monitor, for daily news and information

Burma Monitor is an extraordinary resource for up-to-date news on politics, culture and current events in this important mainland Southeast Asian nation. John MacDougall updates the site daily, with multiple posts that can also be followed on Twitter (#JohnAMacDougall). As with his work on Indonesia and the Islamic world, Burma Monitor not only offers a wealth of information, but it’s also a great jumping-off point for further exploration. If you aren’t already reading John’s main blog, Starting Points, it too is a daily treasure trove… I only wish I could read as quickly as John writes, compiles and posts!
