Anyone reading Myanmar's independent media ahead of the historic election on November 8, 2015, might be unaware over 90 political parties are competing, as online platforms and newspapers are plastered with the image of one candidate - Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. Just five years ago, newspapers that reported on or published pictures of pro-democracy leader Suu Kyi were penalised by the ruling military junta. Suu Kyi was freed by the junta in 2010 after house arrest for 15 of the previous 21 years. (Photo by Reuters/Staff)
