Abstract: On 14 March 2014, two laws governing the print media were adopted in Myanmar, namely the News Media Law (NML) and the Printing and Publishing Enterprises Law (PPEL). The adoption of two laws governing essentially the same issue seemed anomalous to many stakeholders and, in its 2013 analysis of a draft of the PPEL, the Centre for Law and Democracy (CLD) suggested that the two processes be combined so that a single law governing the print media sector could be adopted. This did not happen and, until now, the two laws have coexisted despite a number of provisions which overlap in terms of their subject matter. In the meantime, in August 2015, a dedicated Broadcasting Law was adopted to regulate that media sector.
