HDRIDER Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I really look forward to get another hard copy English newspaper in Phuket, maybe the new one will print some of the “bad” news the other one won’t touch. I think the one we have now have gone downhill with news, or sometimes 2-3 days behind, have a look today at both online news papers, nothing in PG about any news.

McFarang Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 PG is slow to update on news yes! Last time about 2 weeks ago when a thread was complaining about the speed that PG updated it was taken off TV and no explanation given. This will more than likely happen again.

snamos Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Newspapers in Thailand have to be owned by Thais, so we all know that there is not going to be unbiased reporting on certain subjects, and on other subjects there will be a lot of heads in the sand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 we all know that people in this country aren't allowed to report on certain subjects So that is the same for everybody reporting, Thai national or not. Unless you want to publish a newspaper (printed as indicated by the OP) here without living here? the whole loss of face thing doesn't make for accurate reporting. People write loads of <deleted> here on TV, this should be on the top row of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenBravo Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Surprised that they are going from web to hard-copy. The world-wide trend is the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a brand new English news paper, it will be out in March As the web news service we are not allowed to mention has been promoting it, it's reasonable to presume they are related.

Ping Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 AFAIR, the 'pale one' was talking about a new player being good for local reporting standards in general. It seemed to me to be just a friendly, neighbourly boost for the new startup mob (but I could be wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
