Three weeks ago Thailand saw the arrival of the pro-red (Democratic Alliance Against Dictatorship) Thai Red News newspaper. Today it sees the arrival of a pro-red magazine with the launch of D Magazine.
The Bangkok Post reports the launch edition will be 108-pages and sell for 50 baht.
UPDATE: And now The Nation is reporting a second newspaper will be launched at a red shirt rally planned for this weekend. The 'Truth Today Mass Circulation' paper will be published every three days (likely twice a week in reality) and will include columns from former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and other red shirt leaders.
Given the costs of producing one, let alone three, publications surely it would be better for the publishers to join together to best get their message across?

Yes, although when you see the much publicized problems the pro 'yellow' Manager group is going through you have to wonder whether there is a business to be made in publishing from being so political in your views.
