Quote Just as she was talking to her boyfriend her sister ran out naked and jumped down the balcony before her eyes. She had tried to stop her but was not in time, she added. Note, it does not say there was a man there -- he could have been on the phone. but a man was very definitely mentioned in the story you neglected to read. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know whose boyfriend he is, due to the usual appalling Thai reporting. We can assume it was the boyfriend of the sister who is still alive, but we don't actually know because we aren't told. Also, as mentioned above. we aren't told if he was there or on the phone. More clear as mud reporting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frantick Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 On the FB version, it stated she had a little 'accident' before going to the toilet. This could be a simple/not-so-simple case of lost face.

I'm a journalist of over 40 years at the very highest level (the agencies and papers such as the London Times) and know very well what is clear writing and what is not, and how not to jump to conclusions. As others have said, and which you choose to ignore, is that there was no clear indication of whether the sister was talking to her own boyfriend or that of her sister, nor whether he was in the room or on the phone. We can assume it was her boyfriend and he was there in the room, but that is only an assumption. We don't know that for a fact as the writer did not make that clear. My job was and is always to leave no room for doubt. Pedantic perhaps, but that is what a proper journalist needs to be, rather than leave the readership in any doubt. I'm sorry to hear you are struggling to understand that. It was only clear to you because you jumped to a conclusion without questioning what you were reading. As a journalist I never jump to conclusions. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a journalist I never jump to conclusions. Maybe so, but you're still awesomely quick to grab the wrong end of the stick. I never worked on Fleet Street but I do have an SCE Higher (A-level) band A in English which included comprehension in the 5-year syllabus. Thus my comprehension, like a few others on here, is that the sister of the dead balcony jumper was the one reported to have been talking on her own phone to her own boyfriend when her sister who was not talking to anyone on any phone jumped off the balcony.

Bangkok Barry Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 7 minutes ago, NanLaew said: comprehension Assumption. There's a difference. You assumed - comprehended in your words - without knowing all the facts as they weren't given or made clear. It was a more than reasonable assumption, but an assumption nevertheless. In this instance it has no ramifications and is very trivial and so maybe I shouldn't have commented on it. But leaving something open to interpretation would draw a reprimand from a proper editor, or in other and more serious circumstances be exploited by a lawyer. Language is very precise, but that is an aspect that is unimportant to most. It is important, though, to others who deal in words, and certainly should be in the media.

More clear as mud reporting. “Just as she was talking to her boyfriend, her sister ran out naked and jumped down the balcony” I’ve inserted a comma after boyfriend, which might make it clearer for a journo like yourself ; although we still don’t know if he was at the scene, or if she was talking to him on the phone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word phone is not used anywhere in the story. Nor however does the stroy indicate the living sister's boyfriends was there in person. It is unclear. you are making assumptions and appearing rather foolish doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was YOU that introduced the notion that a phone could have been involved. I knew I had read it somewhere in this melange of quibbling armchair detective work masquerading as a critique of Thai journalism. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyn Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 How about just for once we could read a post ,make some sensible comments and move on . Instead of the bickering and arguing and personal attacks that most posts seem to cause these days? Asking for a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
