JACKSON MAGAZINES HIT THE SHELVES

The first magazines featuring Michael Jackson started to appear on the shelves in Bangkok on Thursday. Leading the way were the Asia Pacific editions of Time and Newsweek. At that time none of the locally produced magazines had appeared.
As I mentioned earlier, the distribution and printing processes in Thailand largely prevent a quick response to global events such as this. Even those publishers with their own printing presses or distribution networks are looking at four or five days as an absolute minimum.
I am now in Singapore and both Borders and Kinokuniya have copies of the Australian and United Kingdom editions of magazines produced earlier this week featuring Michael Jackson.
