Two of the #kittens had to visit Dr Doyle b/c their tendons or ligaments aren’t growing properly. She says they will be fine with time.

Pangea interviews me about GlobalPost’s new Twitter series, “A Friday In.”

Here’s more from the show:

In the interview, Hanna, who spent two years reporting from India before landing at GlobalPost, takes us behind the website’s social media curtain. Topics discussed include: how @Sweden inspired GlobalPost’s approach, what it means to cover global breaking news, the importance of having a conversational tone on Twitter (even for a brand!), and more.

As of Monday, journalists in Myanmar no longer have to submit their articles to state censors prior to publication, a practice that had been strictly enforced for nearly 50 years.

It is important to note that restrictions still exist in Myanmar by which the state can jail a journalist for writing something deemed inappropriate. But the lifting of formal press censorship is never the less a significant milestone on the road to reform.

I worked at the Myanmar Times in Yangon from 2003-2004. GlobalPost’s Stacey Leasca interviews me to discuss censorship in Myanmar, the new policy and what obstacles remain.

@GlobalPost introduces "A Friday In ...":

Starting this Friday, GlobalPost’s Twitter feed will showcase the voices and personal experiences of our correspondents.

In a project called “A Friday In …,” a different correspondent based internationally will take over the @GlobalPost account and tweet about his or her travels and daily activities.

We invite you to ask our featured correspondent questions about what’s happening in his or her part of the world, make recommendations for where he or she could go, and give story tips.

The project starts this week with Patrick Winn (@BKKApologist), GlobalPost’s senior correspondent in Southeast Asia. Winn, who is based in Bangkok, will be visiting Klong Toei, a large slum in the city and one of Southeast Asia’s largest wet markets. He will get to Klong Toei by 11 p.m. EST tonight and start tweeting then.

Devastating video by a crew from Britain’s Channel 4 News who managed to get to Myanmar’s Rakhine State and talk to Rohingyas displaced by the violence.

The unnamed correspondent says of the villages destroyed during the violence: “It’s like looking at the aftermath of a natural disaster, except human beings did this.”

Found the video from Robert Mackey at The New York Times.

NY's Rainbow Room has a fading wish

NY's Rainbow Room has a fading wish:

I have a memory of being a little girl and going to a family wedding or event at the Rainbow Room. I remember standing on Grandpa Al’s toes and dancing around the room with him.

Would love to hear others’ memories of the Rainbow Room.

How can I be of some assistance to you, for any developing news story from India, since you are no longer based in India.
