I was just looking at the Thailand News Clippings section and had a thought. Thailand New Clippings needs to be renamed to something like "Negative News About Thailand" because thats all that sections seems to be about.

Then make a different forum named "Positive News About Thailand".

It seems that the Thailand News Clippings sections mostly points out the problems that are in Thailand.

Is there any good news?

Good news generally doesn't sell papers

There is good and bad news in papers.

I see even total BS news clipping get added in there.

Like I remember the nearly 80% of school girls have kids in bangkok.

Its even more funny that many posters in here believe it.

Its all about Thai bashing on there, the bashers love it

There isn't much good news at the moment.

The country is on a verge of a serious bloodshed, it shows.

Apart from politics we have floods and natural disasters, crime, and daily killings and bombings in the South.

For a source of good news wait for the airport opening - it's going to be spectacular.

Ofcourse there is always good news, some just cant accept that anything good happends in Thailand

Lots of the news clippings are "good news" by the Thai govt., promising that every Somsacha and Ponthaphon will have ten computers by next week. Now, some of us look at that with a few kilos of salt.

Besides, a clipping that says, "Somsacha got an A on her Buddhism test yesterday" doesn't sell newspapers. But it should.

No news is good news.

Just off the top of my head good new is the BAHT is strong. Good news for those of us that have income in Baht but I guess not good for those that don't

Ofcourse there is good news, its always in aussie papers, more bad news then good news.

We should also be posting some good news in that section too IMO

in a word its known as SCHADENFREUDE ,generally readers like to read bad news ,it boosts circulation figures no end

First rule in schools of journalism : there is not interest to talk about the trains that arrive on time in the station...

Then the rules of proximity. For instance : a reader will be more interested if you speak about an event that occured in his neigborhood, then his city, his country etc.

Back to Thailand. Right now, it's true that we have a lot of bad news. What's the problem with that ?

It's normal that a lot of people feel concerned.

It's normal to try (i say : try) to figure out what could be the political future of this country. I mean : many of us live or spend a lot of time in Thailand.

Anybody with a little history knowledge knows that nothing is granted on the long term... We have so many examples where things went very bad for foreigners in many countries...

Today, it's land of smile. Tomorrow who knows ?

So, personaly i'm not afraid to talk about bad news, nor disapointed, nor stressed. It's life too.
