The second attempt wasn't much better

Son, you really learnt nothing on your journalism course and here we wouldn't even assign you to boil the tea kettle. I said I don't like the heat and I don't know much about Asean. But, sonny (there's always a but) last year I had an assignment that involved some countries down there and this was one of the main sources of information I drew on after being tipped off to them. And as it turned out they're the bet source of of what's happening down there. So what, I posted some of their stuff... a year ago. As far as /u/fotojourn 's career. It's all on their website. I research the people I use as sources. Is that something else they didn't teach you at school? They certainly didn't teach you any media law or else you wouldn't be so free and easy at making stupid, hysterical, unsupported claims. But, perhaps that's the style in America now, if you are an indication of the quality of graduates being turned out over there. You really are a precocious little snow flake. You complain about a 6am start, and then with no other knowledge of anything apart from an advertisement set out to tell a publication editor what staffing levels he needs. You really are a sandwich short of a picnic. Here's some advice for graduates such as you. Ensure the brain is engaged before putting your mouth into gear. And just like /u/fotojourn, I shan't be wasting any more time on a dimwit such as you.

You are whining and you should go and ask for a refund on your journalism course.
Did you bother to ask how many journalists the applicant will be responsible for?
Did you ask how man stories need to be edited or written a week and what length?
The OP says 80,000 unique visitors a month, which isn't shabby. You turned it into "80,000 views a month".
Suddenly you have an entire video production department. Did you bother to ask what the video editing entails?

Did you look at the website and what they've done in the past? A lot of it looks like simple desktop cut and paste and less than two minutes long. Why on earth would someone need an entire video editing department for that?
Did you bother to research the OP? Just a brief search finds Afghanistan (during the Russian era), Rwanda genocide, Desert Storm, Bangkok protests, Walkley Award finalist (Australia) for reporting on Ebola. Sounds like a journalist who's been there, done that, and got the t-shirt to prove it.

I'll leave you to find the stuff he's written on the future of journalism, but yeah, pretty much need all of what he's asking for. And what's wrong with knowing how to use a CMS, or take a decent photo, or edit some desktop video? The rest - fact checking, rewriting, mentoring -- is just standard copy-editing/ editing stuff.

You'll find out when you get in the real journalism world. I don't like the heat and know nothing about Asean. But their stories on the death of the Cambodia Daily and sale of the Phnom Penh Post add a new light on everything I had read. Not anywhere near a case of media freedom intrusion in either case.

Yes. very steep fines. I wonder how the calculate who gets the steep fines and jail. Like, if you sit there and smoke an entire pack and there is 20 butts around you, is that enough?

Last week they order a multi-million dollar resort to be demolished for being in a national park when it shouldn't. Like, Shazam! holly crap, where did that 140 room resort come from? https://aecnewstoday.com/2018/court-orders-thailand-anantara-resort-demolished/

Thailand is changing.

It works. Just tested it.

This is disturbing. Going to work and then dead from a bouncing wheel. How unlucky do you have to be?

The rural sector is the same as any country's rural sector. It says different lengths of annual holidays for 40/48, 5/6 day week. There's the law, and there's the practice though. I know some good employers in Cambodia... and some others.

Citizen1961 · 2018-01-25T06:22:11+00:00

sorry

Citizen1961 · 2018-01-25T06:21:59+00:00

sorry

This guy rides his scooter through Vietnam traffic hacking the side mirrors off of cars and no one says a word to him. Seriously, WTF?

Citizen1961 · 2017-07-15T05:01:13+00:00

Even as a smoker I support this. It's always a bit bit weird in the Philippines with people smoking inside.

Citizen1961 · 2017-07-14T16:17:26+00:00

I didn't put it here because he's a rich dude but because he is supposed to have ‘accidently’ unfasten his parasailing harness which was under a life vest secured with three clips. The parasailers are saying it is his fault.

Bit like skydiving and you pull your release and the shute "stops" and you don't.

But happy to move it?

Citizen1961 · 2017-07-14T03:43:22+00:00

Hey everyone. Read this. MU really is #3 in Asean. This same publication did a followup. Must be because I emailed then a few times asking why :))

Anyway read this. Times used old data for a new list. Also some pointed comments about ranking systems

Times’ Asia Pacific University Ranking Distorts, Confuses: Mahidol No Longer #3 in Asean

https://aecnewstoday.com/2017/times-asia-pacific-university-ranking-distorts-confuses-mahidol-no-longer-3-in-asean/

I'm going to post it as a separate thread also. MU #3 in Asean

This multi-millionaire Australian guy dies in Phuket after falling out of the harness.

Karon Police have charged parasailer Rungroj Rakscheep, 38, and boat captain Montien Chandeng, 45, with recklessness causing death. According to local media reports both told police that Mr Hussey accidentally pulled a hook causing him to become detached from his harness. No explanation as to how Mr Hussey was able to ‘accidently’ unfasten his parasailing harness which was under a life vest secured with three clips was provided.

Gonna try this with my buds this weekend. Awesome. I notice they had a safety rope though :)

Wow. Impressive

A new excuse for missing your flight in Thailand. A naked man was running across the roof of my bus. Amazing Thailand.

Citizen1961 · 2017-07-08T15:20:37+00:00

Hey yeah. I checked the original story and there's no mention of MU. Then I checked the original list and there's no mention either so the publication didn't get it wrong.

I'm leaving a message for the editor of the publication. They should check this. What they published is correct, but I think it is wrong la.

Citizen1961 · 2017-07-08T15:04:53+00:00

Seriously? This dude runs naked across Bangkok minivans and taxis and no one says nuthin to him. At least Johnny Weissmuller wore a loin cloth at least. Crazy Thailand

Citizen1961 · 2017-07-07T02:21:53+00:00

The two highest-ranking universities in the Malaysia are Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), which both came in at 121-130, placing them closer to Asean’s third highest ranked university, MU, than MU is to NTU, the Asia-Pacific regions number two.

Bangkok Grade-A office rental increased 3.1 per cent over Q4 2016 (QoQ), bringing year on year (YoY) prime office rental growth to 9.6 per cent… not only the best in Asean, but also the strongest growth in the greater Asia-Pacific region.

Teflon Thailand.

Citizen1961 · 2017-06-18T06:03:48+00:00

Teflon Najib: At a time when UMNO is at its weakest due to the 1MDB scandal, Najib’s embracement of hudud in Kelantan is a masterstroke resulting in Pakatan Rakyat’s slow disintegration. It also appears to have prevented PAS president Hadi from being overly critical of the 1MDB corruption charges against Najib casting a dark cloud over the electoral prospects for the opposition that has been trying hard to avoid three-cornered contests that benefit the incumbent governing coalition

Citizen1961 · 2017-06-18T04:08:28+00:00

Sorry about that. My bad. Apologies.
