When villagers inform us about the junta army's raids and killings and we post them to the media, those soldiers threaten the villagers to follow them anywhere and hurt them until the news is taken down. So, my primary concern is about my sources and people. (#9) One journalist (#7) reported being afraid of the possible reaction of anti-coup resistance groups. Although this formed an exception within our data set, the current trend of an increasingly unified and growing resistance army could mean more journalists and activists could reside within these liberated zones. This situation will likely also impact how fear is experienced by journalists, as armed groups opposing the State Administration Council (SAC) military governance may react negatively to journalist reports on violent resistance actions directed towards the military. In general, it can be concluded that journalists who reside in SAC-controlled areas live in a constant state of fear. Those residing abroad or in regions occupied by opposing ethnic armed forces groups, such as some parts of Karen state, experience less fear. Military-controlled checkpoints, situated along toll roads, borders, or intersections are most feared as the threat of being arrested at one of these checkpoints is perceived as high. 21
