Alternative media is alive and well in Thailand, especially at the offices of Prachatai.com. I spent the morning with the staff of this Thai alternative news source discussing what the big issues are for Thailand and their experience running such a media organization.
We discuss:
- The overall media landscape in Thailand
- Government control, economic influence
- MY experience with the Royal Anthem
- Censorship
- The constitution
- Labor and Unions
- Environmentalism in Thailand
- Funding
Music:
- Eddie Vedder – Rise
- Herbie Hancock – Tea Leaf Prophecy
