poppa Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 one of the problems with the news papers out here is they are in competition with each other to promote Pattaya , there was a news paper i think it was called the star that was shut down by the police for reporting to much crimes , so you are only reading the tip of the iceburg , but then this is Thailand and nothing is what it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tufty Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Pattaya City News is not a newspaper. It is only a TV show <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good on britmaveric for posting the news on Thai Visa, it means I dont have to watch the rubbish on the telly and I can be selective about the news I want to hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 'Gutter press' I meant that it is the very basic level of journalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryofthailand Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Pattaya City News is on Sophon Cable, and is run by the same people that run the Pattayaq people news paper. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Moog Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 (edited) I note that PCN website seems to have deleted its own story about the Englischer who recently died, legs akimbo and haddock in hand. Edited October 8, 2005 by The_Moog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Maiden Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I used to go to there website and read the articles, but now britmaverik reposts them all on this forum. Is that good or bad-Mai Lu No wonder his post count is so high. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I personaly don't see anything wrong with Brit for posting these news articles on TV. I can see why some people wish to ignore such topics but I don't hide from them or ignore them. I think the information is valuable in a way. Living in Pattaya myself I read these posts and if I don't I see them on the televison or in the newspaper. Maybe reading these posts or taking notice would cut down the number of vulnerable tourists being to victims to certain crimes. Just maybe.

Thaipwriter Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 From what ive read on here it pretty much strikes me as though it's written by 13 year olds who are creating a school newspaper, maybe on par with the Sun in the UK, IS there a printed version, does it have boobs on page 3?

britmaveric Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I dont post every article - only the more interesting/bizzare. I do even post positive news when it is presented - however not alot reaction or comments from those so seems most people are interested in the darker aspects of Patters.

george Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Pattaya City news publish their transcripts as read by the studio reporter, it's not like well written articles. I find them very amusing. I hope Howard and company at PCN doesn't sue us for copying their TV studio copy... TV, radio and forums works great in my opinion! Howard?

Pattaya_Fox Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 The PCN postings have certainly provided many discussions and some very lively ones on this forum. Although many items of news are not as endearing as some would wish, they do tend to promote the more `down to earth` side of Pattaya, which in itself helps to broaden the church of newscasting in the area. Having said that. Any suicides to-day? Any gory accidents? Any chilling pictures? No its Sunday...relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm1973 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Pattaya Fox, Sunday is a day of rest for us but the Monday show is a round-up of Saturday and Sunday news stories so you won't miss a thing. George and Co. its fine to use my stuff (notice I call it stuff and not articles). That royalty check you promised me never arrived.......when's it coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bel Mondo Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Both Pattaya People News and Pattaya City News do a credible job within their "context"---small community cable access news reporting. This is what cable TV (as opposed to network TV) was created to do--give access to reasonably priced broadcast media for members of a defined geographical community. As orginally conceived, cable TV was not suppposed to be a "professional" (however you want to define it) broadcast vehicle, but a vehicle for the non-professionoal to voice his or her position on whatever topics he or she wishes. Therefore, within this context (i.e., amateurs being allowed access to reasonably priced media), PPN and PCN do a credible job for the Pattaya community. I just wish PCN would not keep replaying the restaurant interviews day-after-day for an entire month! Extremely BORING!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
