RandolphGB Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The headline says Thai Visa has become part of Nation Group but then it says it's a collaboration.... So has Thai Visa been bought out or is it a content partnership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manarak Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 huh? wasn't it already associated with the Nation? Quote The first initiative will be an integration of Thailand’s news and content from The Nation on the web pages of Thaivisa.com – a move which will serve both readers wanting more Thai content and marketers wanting to reach this group of customers. errr.... a clear separation of advertising/marketing/PR from news is in order.

55Jay Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Never paid attention or looked at the Nation much, but there's a link to ThaiVisa on the top of their homepage. Not sure if that's a new thing. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snig27 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The Nation is the lessor of the two English dailies by a margin and its content is fairly conservative and unquestioning of the powers that rule, so one can probably expect a tightening of allowed opinion here I'd imagine.

In the main the good informative side of Tvisa should remain, and do we really need the 'rants', I feel discussion maybe more 'contained' Would prefer the news to be more Thailand based too fed up seeing Trump/Brexit threads running amok You should be so lucky Brexit which severs our UK free trade access to 500 million consumers is bad news here and there. The pound keeps sinking, UK will get pricey because of higher prices, wages and pensions shrink in purchasing power. Services and tax revenues will decline. Get real for Brits it's down hill for next 5 to 10 years. Less tourists too probably. P.S. Always look on the bright side of life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you click a "Like" on the wrong Facebook page. Or publish any satire or parody of a particular leader. Or try to engage in a public protest over anything that isn't allowed to be protested about, etc etc etc. In those cases, you're apt to find a police squad knocking on your door early some morning.
