The Nation (Thailand)

The Nation is an English-language daily online newspaper founded in 1971, published in Bangkok, Thailand.

The paper changed considerably in 1991, when several Thai journalists from the Bangkok Post defected to The Nation.

Its acquisition in 2018 by T News was the result of a three-year effort to acquire controlling stock interests in Nation Multimedia properties.

[8] The two brothers who head The Nation, Suthichai Yoon and Thepchai Yong, were no longer at the paper's helm.

[citation needed] After Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was elected in 2001, several companies associated with him ceased to advertise in The Nation.

[11] Though The Nation has a right-of-centre opinion page, which welcomed the 2014 coup and military rule, its daily news coverage is more center-left, criticizing, for example, Thailand's lèse-majesté law.

[12] At the demise of the print version, some Nation staff members moved to defend the publication's integrity and commitment to truthful journalism.
