Media ethics in question as Naewna quits Press Council

Naewna Newspaper Co, publisher of Naewna newspaper, has withdrawn from the National Press Council of Thailand, one of the country’s four major media associations, citing the NPCT’s inability to live up to the intentions declared when it was established in 1997.

The publisher said the council was ineffective in its stated intention of ensuring ethical and professional journalism, and that some members had become the tools of people causing conflict and division in society.
