Coverage shape
Myanmar is a good OutsideBrief fit because readers need named sources, caveats and plain context.
Official claims should be attributed and compared with public reporting when the same event is disputed.
Local and specialist reports can be valuable, but claims about control, casualties or attacks need careful wording.
Coverage should keep location, group names and source confidence clear so readers are not left guessing.
Displacement, airstrike and aid-access reporting should stay visible beside the political and military updates.
