    Can Thailand's vibrant media be self-regulated?

    Oped, Kavi Chongkittavorn, Published on 06/07/2021

    » Exactly 24 years ago this week, some 40-plus publishers and editors from all over Thailand came together to form the National Press Council to challenge the government of the day, which was trying to control them through regulatory measures.
