SAME SAME, NO DIFFERENCE
The story – the terror attacks that happened in Jakarta – and the images chosen by the respective picture editors, as you can see, were identical.
From my knowledge both newspapers hit the streets at roughly the same time so neither would have had prior knowledge or sight of the competitors’ front page.
Although The Nation is not subjected to an independent circulation audit, both newspapers probably have a combined daily circulation of around 50,000.
English is still a very niche publishing language in Thailand.

Also interesting that both front-page leads were agency reports. You might expect a newspaper to use agency copy for in-brief items, or even to rewrite agency copy, but to use unaltered agency reports as the lead story is an admission of severe lack of resources.
