phuketandsee Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Is the Phuket Gazette English print version still in production? I've seen the Russian version around but no sign of the English version for several weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modafinil Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Phuket branches of 7/11 are refusing to stock the English language version now. Apparently a number of "farang" were going into the shop, reading the news for free for several minutes, and then leaving without buying anything. It's this kind of "cheap charlie" behaviour that makes us all look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iforget Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Phuket Gazette or The Phuket News? The Russian paper, Novisti Phuketa, is sister to The Phuket News, not the Gazette. Edited July 29, 2014 by iforget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketandsee Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Phuket Gazette or The Phuket News? The Russian paper, Novisti Phuketa, is sister to The Phuket News, not the Gazette. Phuket Gazette. I assumed the Russian paper I saw was the Gazette as it's cover this week was not the same as the News (dolphins). Do the two versions have different front pages? Maybe this week they did as the Russians may not be so keen on reading about the resistance to the dolpinarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't try to read too much into the reasons for the choices of p1 story. The sole criterion for the choice of front page story is what will most appeal to the readers of the newspaper. Only that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketandsee Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 "The sole criterion for the choice of front page story is what will most appeal to the readers of the newspaper. Only that" Confirms my point - i.e. resistance to the dolphinarium is not likely to appeal to Russian readers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
