NOT FIT TO PRINT
When I say blank space, you can see for yourself (right) the
wording the replaced the front page teaser story, and was also extended to the
full story inside.
The person (what about a team?) that oversees the newspaper's account with the
company, declined to give a name citing the matter as "sensitive."
The International New York Times has already announced that
it will be discontinuing distribution in Thailand by the end of the year due to
rising production costs.
In the past, as I reported here numerous times, The
Economist tops the list of publications that simply never make it to Thailand
due to “sensitive” issues.

This is the first 'blank space' censorship in Thailand, not the second. There was no blank space on 22nd September; the NYT simply wasn't printed here at all.
"Last weekend"? It was on Monday 1st December.
As a print subscriber, I'm really sad about the NYT's decision to stop publishing here, but I can see why they made that decision, as they are at the mercy of Eastern Printing Co.
(Sorry, 1st December was Tuesday not Monday.)
