Nathan Maung, editor-in-chief of the local news outlet Kamayut Media, was seized in March. Read SEJ's letter.

"As news consumers, we really don’t care what you, the journalist, simply have heard. We want to know what you know for certain. For real. So that we can use the information for our own purposes... If it’s not true, don’t tweet it. If you can’t be bothered to find out whether it’s true, don’t tweet it." — Gene Policinski
