A map showing the freedom of the media worldwide in 2012 is seen at the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) newsroom in Yangon May 5, 2014. Two years after Myanmar scrapped censorship in one of its boldest reforms, its journalists are again living in fear of jail and are convinced a state-sponsored crackdown is under way to limit press freedom. Eight members of the media have been arrested since December and two jailed in what critics say is government backsliding on some of the wide-ranging reforms that led the West to lift sanctions after decades of military rule.
