BANGKOK: -- THE MEDIA reform committee has failed to reach a decision on the controversial composition of the media council stipulated in the new draft media regulation bill.

 

Kanit Suwannet, chairman of the committee under the National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA), said the committee could not reach a resolution on the issue on Tuesday.

 

Early this month, representatives of major media organisations submitted a petition to NRSA Vice Chairman Alongkorn Poonlaboot requesting that the committee revisit the draft bill and also remove Kanit as the committee’s chairman.
