EEC establishes committee to improve quality of news reporting

CHONBURI:--News agencies in the eastern region recently entered discussions to improve the quality of news reporting on the development of the EEC.

 

Local news agencies from Chonburi, Rayong, and Chachoengsao met at Pattaya City Hall to create a media network to provide constructive and factual information, free of slanderous or damaging content often used by groups to attack competitors.

 

The meeting established a committee to develop public relations in the EEC, consisting of provincial branches to coordinate local policies. The committee will work with a social development agency, Forum 21, in organizing seminars featuring experts who will help develop quality journalism.

 

Advisor to the EEC Secretary-General Apichart Thongyu said facts and opinions have become less distinguishable in today’s news. The media must, therefore, raise awareness of the importance of factual reporting and the damaging effects of distorted or slanderous content. It must also develop communication channels that provide accurate information, free of outside interference.

How violently must the temple stems press on the cerebral cortex, coming up with the idea developing quality journalism in a country under junter rule, that ranks 140 in the World Press Freedom Rankings?

Subsitute the word ''improve ''with ''control''.

TRANSLATION:

Fake news promoting the achievements of the government must prevail over facts and opinions.

Any excuse for a junket with a photo-op attached; just a lot of self important connected people trying to look useful.

This is just free advertising under the guise of press reports. No-one will notice.

Forum 21? Sounds like it could be one of those little-known agencies created to help roll out Agenda 21, the UN plan for central control of the planet's entire resouces - including its "human capital".

 

Mmm. . . A quick check via Google shows that equivalents of the Thai Forum 21 are operating in many countries across the world. Sheer coincidence?

 

Time to do some sleuthing and report back.
