Would You Work For A Thai Newspaper?

Featured Replies

Advertising pays most of a typical newspaper's budget, so there's a built-in conflict of interest in terms of reporting objectivity. Managing editors will claim otherwise of course.

I've worked for newspapers in several different countries, and the experience from one to the other differed relatively little. All practiced self-censorship to some degree. Certainly newspapers in some countries I've written for (Malaysia, Singaore and Mexico come to mind) enjoyed less press freedom that, say, the Post or The Nation.

At the end of the day, is there any vocation or profession that doesn't involve some degree of moral compromise? I doubt it :o

Thailand is far more obsessive about certain issues.I would say in todays climate the most repressed nation on earth re; freedom of speech.

maybe you should re-arrange your statement, if you are speaking about media freedom - well I have no thoughts on that really, but in general I find this country to be very open.

Try being gay in malaysia for example.
