7Day News (Burmese: ၇ ရက် နေ့စဉ်သတင်းစာ) was a private weekly newspaper published in Myanmar, among the best-selling journals in the country.[1] Its CEO, Thaung Su Nyein, is son of Win Aung, a former minister for foreign affairs.[2]

History

[edit]

7Day began circulation on 25 April 2013.[3]

It was suspended for one week for publishing front-page news on Aung San Suu Kyi in November 2010. Other publications also suspended were The Voice Weekly, Venus News, Pyithu Khit, Myanmar Post, The Snap Shot and Myanmar Newsweek.[4]

After the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, military junta revoked the operating licenses of 7 Day News, and four other media outlets, namely Myanmar Now, Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), Khit Thit Media, and Mizzima News, amidst the ongoing protests.[5]
