The Australian News Agency blog reports that magazines featuring the death of Michael Jackson have already started to appear on the shelves.
I doubt we'll see a similar influx in Thailand for a few weeks at least. The distribution process alone can take three or four days, and when you add another five days for printing you can see that even the keenest of Thai publishers are unlikely to have anything out for at least 10 days.
Timing, in terms of the editorial process, is also a consideration. A lot of the July editions of the popular monthly magazines will have already gone to press. Whether any decide to publish 'special' editions will be something I'll be watching.
I think the Thai language 'gossip' titles, including the likes of Hello!, OK! and Gossip Star, are likely to be the first with Jackson-related covers in Thailand.
