Protesters accuse Thailand Reporter Somjit Nawakruasunthorn of Breaking Ethics Standards

Ten “red-shirt supporters” protested Thailand reporter Somjit Nawakruasunthorn who interviewed the prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, the Bangkok Post reported.

Nawakruasunthorn is Channel 7’s political reporter and is accused of breaking journalism ethics guidelines.  Channel 7 has rejected claims that she should be let go from her position in response to the protest, according to the Bangkok Post.

In follow-up report, the Bangkok Post explained that the Thai Broadcast Journalists Association and the News Broadcasting Council of Thailand joined together in asking the protestors “to stop trying to intimidate the media.”
