When the media Sees Red
Muse, Published on 20/03/2010
» With the red-shirted UDDs on the move, the local newspapers have been covering, and covered in, stories of security measures and the movements of the mob. As the situation looks unlikely to be quickly resolved, some people have been put off by the political and, of course, media channels through which we receive news of our troubled society on a daily basis. 'Muse' asked you last week, during this time when we're not sure of what we read in the newspaper or see on television, what kind of news you want to receive from the media: print, radio or television?

» Almost every movie lover knows the Oscar-winning film Schindler's List, which simplifies the true story of Oskar Schindler, the German industrialist and member of the Nazi party who saved the lives of more than 1,000 Jews by hiring them in his factories during World War II. Lists changed throughout the wartime. Yet, the official one is dated April 18, 1945, three weeks before the German army surrendered. Three copies are being kept in museums in Jerusalem, Washington D.C., and in Orange Country, New York. The only copy in private hands is now for sale for $2.2 million (71.4 million baht).

And if you thought that people should have access to all information and the right to decide on what to believe by themselves, and why? Here are your answers!

» As the volcanic cloud drifts away from European skies, it's still good to know how the sleepy Eyjafjallajokull exploded two weeks ago, throwing a vast plume of volcanic ash around 11km into the atmosphere in "The Cloud that Closed a Continent", according to Time magazine. The article offers a scientific explanation about how the glacier on top of Eyjafjallajokull was able to wreak such havoc in Europe, causing not only the cancellation of more than 100,000 flights and the stranding of hundreds of thousands of travellers in airports around the world but also the loss of millions of dollars a day for airlines.
