During the turbulent years of 2021 and 2022, U Aye Chan (UAC) chose to serve his country through media, at a time when the public was being relentlessly flooded with misinformation on social platforms. He was already the publisher of Myanmar’s longest-established English-language journal, Myanmar Insider, which became a key platform for analysis and perspective during this period.
Through his work with the journal, as well as his involvement with the Myanmar Press Council and engagements with channels under the Ministry of Information, he emerged as a familiar and respected voice within Myanmar’s media landscape.
UAC went on to establish himself as a regular talk-show host and public commentator on national television, appearing on MRTV, MITV, and Myawaddy TV, where he spoke primarily on economic issues and global affairs.
He also became the most frequently published columnist in Myanmar’s national English-language newspaper, The Global New Light of Myanmar, offering regular analysis on the state of the Union and the impact of global developments on the country.
