Law-makers commended the Thai Public Broadcasting Service (Thai PBS) on Thursday for its independent news coverage and educational programming, but called on Thailand’s leading public broadcaster to find ways to improve its audience ratings.

 

They also want to see Thai PBS produce more content promoting media literacy, in the wake of a proliferation of misinformation and fake news.

 

The suggestions came during a House meeting to hear the annual report from the management of Thai PBS, Thailand’s first public service broadcaster.

 

Addressing the chamber, Thai PBS Director General Wilasinee Phiphitkul pointed out how the public broadcaster has covered major events in the past year in a way which distinguished it from other media outlets, including the Bangkok gubernatorial elections in May last year, the recent general election and the flooding that hit the country last year.
