Popular Post snoop1130 Posted January 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2022 The Thai cabinet approved a draft bill on Tuesday which seeks to create a council for the media profession, similar to the Lawyers Council of Thailand, to regulate and promote the ethics and standards of Thai media professionals and to protect the rights, liberties and independence of the media, in accordance with Section 35 of the Constitution. Under Section 35, members of the media will be protected by law in the exercise of their rights, liberties and media independence in the presentation of news and opinion if they comply with media ethics and if the exercise of such rights does not go against the good morals of the people. One highlight of the bill, proposed by the Public Relations Department and drafted by the Council of State, is that members of state-run media have the right to defy the orders of their superiors if such orders are deemed to violate media ethics, but the exercise of that right must take into account the objectives or missions of state media.

Popular Post Jerno Posted January 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2022 What a bunch of gobbledygook <deleted>. Freedom of the press only if it's in line with Gov't stated objectives and does not criticize anything the Gov't does. Pathetic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
