Here are some of the more important sites to refer to when planning your trip:

Irrawaddy - Website of a Bangkok-based publication, it focuses on political issues, but covers many cultural news topics. It has a huge archive.

Myanmar Home Page - Provides a funny government dictum, and two local English-language papers, including the useful Myanmar Times (for entertainment listings, flight schedules).
