Re-elected TJA president warns of less media freedom

The challenge to press freedom is still of concern this year, said the re-elected president of the Thai Journalists Association Friday.

Wanchai Wongmeechai, a senior news editor at the Naew Na newspaper, was re-elected by TJA members at the association’s annual meeting to serve a second term. 
He warned press freedom may be challenged further this year due to unsettled political circumstances.
He called on journalist fellows to unite to push for media reform and liberty.
