Reporting Thailands Southern Conflict

Since 2004, Thailands southern border provinces have been plagued by violence. There are a wide array of explanations for this violence, from the revival of Malay nationalist movements and the influence from the global trend of radical Islam, to the power play among the regional underground crime syndicates, politicians, and state authorities. The disparate interpretations signal the dynamic and complex discursive contention of this damaging and enduring conflict, and this book looks at how this is played out in the Thai media, and with what possible consequences.

In analysing the southern conflict coverage, this book presents the deficiencies in news coverage as produced by four news organisations of different natures across a seven-year review period, and discusses the professional practices that hinder journalism from serving as a fair arena for healthy and rational democratic debates. Based on in-depth interviews with news workers, it argues that Thai journalism is not always monolithic and static, as shown in the discursive shifts in news content, the variations of journalistic practices, and news workers disparate stances on the conflict. The book goes on to highlight the less immediately apparent difficulties of political conflict reporting, such as the subtle patterns of intimidation and media manipulation, as well as the challenges of countering socially prevailing hegemonic beliefs in Thai society.

Exploring the political contingencies and socio-cultural influences at play, this book provides an in-depth study of journalisms role in politics in Thailand, and is of interest to students and scholars of Southeast Asian Politics, Media Studies, and Peace and Conflict Studies.

Phansasiri Kularb is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Communication Arts at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. Her interests include journalism and political conflict, journalism practices, and civic and citizen media. She has participated in research projects on Thai media freedom and media regulation and policy.

Rethinking Southeast Asia

Edited by Duncan McCargo, University of Leeds, UK

Southeast Asia is a dynamic and rapidly changing region which continues to defy predictions and challenge formulaic understandings. This series publishes cutting-edge work on the region, providing a venue for books that are readable, topical, interdisciplinary and critical of conventional views. It aims to communicate the energy, contestations and ambiguities that make Southeast Asia both consistently fascinating and sometimes potentially disturbing.

Some titles in the series address the needs of students and teachers, published in simultaneous in hardback and paperback, including:

For the people of the far South and those who devote themselves to solving the southern conflict

Contents

A challenging field: so a veteran correspondent succinctly defined reporting the civil conflict in Thailands southern border provinces. The label seems fitting, given the struggles complex contexts, multifarious protagonists and dynamic patterns, as well as its interplay with the countrys unstable politics and deep-seated beliefs in Thai society. As such, journalists covering this phenomenon involving a broad range of news specialisms are often faced with conundrums causing them to rethink the practices and roles that have long been established as routine in Thai journalism.
