As news is reported around the world of the dramatic events unfolding in the Thai capital, Bangkok, Rajan Datar tries to find out how much is being reported within Thailand itself – and whether this is information that can be trusted.

Rajan hears from a listener in Bangkok about her sources of news – and talks to Professor Duncan McCargo, an expert in Thai media, who explains who is actually in charge of the country's broadcasting stations and newspapers.

Rajan also talks to a listener who wants a return to an accentless "³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ English" on the World Service. And he confronts the editor of Witness, Kirsty Reid, with accusations of lack of balance in one of her recent programmes.
