Biographical

My name is Amy and I am a graduate student in peace and conflict studies at Marburg University, Germany. At the moment I am volunteering at the Why Democracy? project in Cape Town as an online coordinator.

Writers and journalists around the world emphasized the important role bloggers and citizen journalists play in the documentation of the crisis in Burma: While official journalists have restricted access to information and face limits in their research, bloggers, especially in Burma, take brave action and fight with keyboards and digital cameras to share information with the world.

Today, bloggers around the world are joining up with activists in Burma to creat the International Bloggers' Day for Burma. Free Burma.org is organising the event, providing infrastructure such as banners, pictures and other free campaigning material in different languages for the global blogger community. These materials can be used on webpages and blogs to show support for the population in Burma:

"International bloggers are preparing an action to support the peaceful
revolution in Burma. We want to set a sign for freedom and show our
sympathy for these people who are fighting their cruel regime without
weapons. These Bloggers are planning to refrain from posting to their
blogs on October 4 and just put up one Banner then, underlined with the
words "Free Burma!“."

Free Burma.org also gives an up-to-date list with involved bloggers.

Besides this, bloggers around the world create unique content and engage discussions about the crisis and - among other things - ask whether democracy is a real option for Burma:

Ko Htike re-distributes news and artworks from Burmese informants anonymously.
Abitsu.org - covers very up-to-date sources from and about Burma - e.g. the information that soldiers "hunt" the protesters and that the junta is now using spies to track down democracy activists and groups.
openDemocracy has collected new pictures from the protesters and Joakim Kreutz, peace and conflict researcher in Sweden, analyses the conflict and it's transformation potential, proving that freedom is never free ...
Matthew Good offers details from Burma and depicts the cruel truth of the situation.

Great summary. One could add a new analysis in Foreign Affairs magazine, where the authors recommend a new approach from the international community.
