Biography
Aung Zaw (born 1968) is a Burmese journalist based in Thailand/Burma. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of The Irrawaddy magazine. www.irrawaddy.org

In 1988, Aung Zaw, then a young university student in Rangoon/Yangon participated in the mass protests against the regime of General Ne Win and his socialist government. He was involved in underground political movement in Burma ahead of the uprising in 1988.

Aung Zaw, then 20, was arrested, interrogated, and briefly held in the Insein prison for his pro-democracy activities.

Upon his release, he continued to work with the resistance movement until the military staged a coup in September of that year, whereupon he was forced into exile in neighboring Thailand.

Since living in exile, Aung Zaw wrote political commentaries in various media outlets in Southeast Asia. Since 1993, he was a columnist for the Bangkok-based The Nation newspaper. He also wrote for the Bangkok Post newspaper. He then set up The Irrawaddy magazine with a group of fellow exiled Burmese. The Irrawaddy is not-for-the profit publication.

The Irrawaddy newsmagazine is published in English language and on-line version of English language is launched in 2000. A year later Burmese language version is launched. Both on-line and magazine include in-depth analysis, news, cartoons, and interviews with experts from Burma and contributors from around Southeast Asia.

As the first independent publication (operating outside of Burma) in Burma, The Irrawaddy remains a significant resource for current news on the dynamic political and economic environment.

Aung Zaw extensively travels to Thai-Burmese border to cover ongoing civil war and flight of refugees and Burmese migrant population living in Thailand.

In 2012, Aung Zaw returned to his homeland of Burma/Myanmar for the first time in 24 years and established a local office for The Irrawaddy in Rangoon. This past year, the Burmese government lifted the ban on major media, allowing for readership and distribution of The Irrawaddy throughout the country. Inside Burma, The Irrawaddy launched its first weekly Burmese language journal in 2014.

Aung Zaw is also contributor for the New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Wall Street Journal, Yale Global Online, The Guardian, Foreign Policy, Jakarta Globe, CNN website, and many other publications in Europe. He has been featured on interviews on CNN, BBC, and Al Jazeera.

He is the author of Face of Resistance and has written publications distributed through the Irrawaddy Publishing Group, including ten-installments of The Dictators, a series that analyzes the lives and careers of Myanmar’s main military chiefs and their cohorts.

In 2010, Aung Zaw was awarded the prestigious Price Claus Award, which honors journalists who reflect progressive approaches to culturally focused journalism in developing countries. In 2013, Aung Zaw was a visiting scholar at Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
