Tin Tun Oo (Burmese: တင်ထွန်းဦး) is a Burmese media entrepreneur who owns Swesone Media Company, with about 60 employees.
The group publishes the Thuta Swesone magazine, Pyi Myanmar journal, Arrawjan magazine and Good Health journal.[1]
He is sponsor of the annual Thuta Swesone literary award.[2]
The Myanmar Times began publishing in 2000. Ross Dunkley had 49% of the company and Sonny Swe, an associate of General Khin Nyunt owned 40%.
General Khin Nyunt was arrested and Sonny Swe was also temporarily detained in November 2004.[1]
Sonny Swe's stake in The Myanmar Times was transferred to his wife, Yamin Htin Aung, who continued to hold the local share with another investor, Pyone Maung Maung, for almost a year.[3] In 2015, she was forced by the Ministry of Information to sell her stake to Tin Tun Oo.[3][4]
Tin Tun Oo was vice-chairman of the Myanmar Writers and Journalists Association (MWJA).
Under the MWJA constitution, as an independent association no members could belong to a political party.
In August 2010 Tin Tun Oo and other senior members of the executive resigned so that they could compete in the national elections.[5]
Tin Tun Oo ran unsuccessfully for the Pazundaung Township constituency on the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) ticket.[1]
In February 2011 Tin Tun Oo became CEO of The Myanmar Times, replacing editor Ross Dunkley, who had been arrested and imprisoned for violating the Myanmar Immigration Act.[1]
He was also named editor-in-chief of the Myanmar-language edition, while Bill Clough of Far Eastern Consolidated Media became editor-in-chief of the English-language edition.[6]
