This article rejects more common conceptions of the press as a 'mirror', 'agenda-setter', or 'watchdog' as unsatisfactory in the Thai case, since Thai media organizations are generally political actors in their own right, often linked to or owned by prominent political figures, and dedicated to the promotion of particular vantage points. For a detailed discussion, see Duncan McCargo, Media Machinations: The Politics of the Thai Press (forthcoming).

An example was the 1993 Longman dictionary affair, when it emerged that a dictionary published by the British publisher Longman described Bangkok as a city known for its large number of prostitutes.

In the interests of full disclosure, I should make clear that during late Nov. and most of Dec. 1995, I was undertaking fieldwork at Siam Post newspaper, and was therefore a participant-observer in the newspaper's coverage of the Kockums case. This included regular telephone and fax communication with Henrik Westander and SPAS. This article draws upon field notes from this research.

Men attack journalist

27 July

For example, in July 1997 Andreas Harsono, a journalist closely associated with AJI, was attacked in his car in Jakarta. Indonesian newspapers were reluctant to cover the story directly, but when AFP ran a story about the incident, at least one local publication published it as a news agency report (see 'Men attack journalist', Indonesia Times, 27 July 1997).
