Chief photographer AND a famous journalist resigned Point out the media to make the case for the reality of ratings and bring society into the flow of Uncle Fever On the other hand, academics concerned with making news without limits can create the next uncle Phon, pointing out that # Ban Lung Phon is a social force that puts pressure on the media to act properly.

Today (September 9, 2020), Songpol Ruangsamut, Chief Television Photographer, Channel 1 Release a message via Facebook apologizing for the corruption case of Uncle Phon, Aunt Tan and Ban Kok kok at the hands of media like us, which has been presented to society for the last 4 months.

I have always been the main news photographer for one of the television stations that brought this news. I have been working here for 6 years since the first day of transmission. Until today, I couldn’t bear what happened and decided to leave.

Of Nong Chompoo’s death That was featured by a media group and “I am one of them.” Contributing to the fact that a lawsuit became the life of Uncle Phon-Pa Than The rift of a family Life in the village of Kok Kok The story of superstition and drunkenness. “We sell news daily” “We are not shy” “We don’t care” It is what society asks and it’s okay

Present a story that is far from what it should have been until the end of the day. Take advantage and let the group of people who want to benefit from it reach the limit. “We want the trend AND he only wants the number of people who see, press Like, share the number” Some have argued that what happened to the media was done to satisfy the curiosity of people in society. Or help 2 villagers have a better life

It’s definitely not just that. They are all benefits. Let’s accept that “we” is the key variable. And it was the beginning of all this distortion. Because they are so hungry for ratings, “Rating” is everything, “Rating” is the factor that tells you whether you live or leave, and “Rating” becomes an excuse. That made some people do everything. Arrive I am the one who always knows the history that is made and presented on screen. And always wondering “What are we doing?” “It is not a phenomenon. It is not a novelty. No way. “

Today, I remember myself as one of the cogs that caused all of this. And I try to fix anything, but in the end, I give up on distortion AND admit that I couldn’t protest OR change anything that happens from the source Everything goes on For hiring reasons

I’m sorry for everything that happened. And I hope that when the event is over We and some audiences should both learn some lessons from this story. And let’s not assume that what happened is the full picture of the “press.” I insist that in a situation where many factors are faced, Today there are still friends of the media Who try to do their duty Perform the media as it should be the best. I thank and encourage the friends of the media who continue to defend their duties.

Journalists can’t fix the system I have to back off

While Mr. Sakda Wannasut, a famous channel correspondent posted a message through Facebook stating that “Finish the role of reporter” Many friends who saw this post were surprised. What happened? I must say that Working with the channel for a period of 1 year and 2 months Thank you for always giving me the opportunity. But when you work over and over again, many things may not meet what you expect. Making it impossible to force my feelings and continue We decided to go talk to the Deputy Director of News and told him: “We want to rest”, so he respects our decision.

As stated in the previous post, “Watch out for the stream of friends With media criticism”, which we didn’t have many opportunities to explain to anyone But I didn’t want friends to join the media I want everyone to understand that the media of Communication are normal people Working within the organization And the work of each organization is different Therefore, corporate cultures are also different They have all done their best in their own context.

In my own name which is considered part of and is directly related to this matter. We apologize to everyone for the news that happened. Until we brought society to this point. All this time, we were just a human resource. Unable to object or correct anything Because when we are in the system, we have to, then we withdraw. Because we don’t want to be part of the system

Concerned about the construction media, there may be the next “Uncle Phon”

Dr. Mana Treerayapiwat Vice Dean of Student Affairs Faculty of Communication Arts The University of Thailand Chamber of Commerce revealed that from the case of Mr. Chaiyaphon Wipha or Lung Phon, the current situation arose because people already had the popularity of this kind of entertainment. Causing Ratings During News To Rise The media themselves saw this popularity and featured the news on various topics. But what follows is Lack of scope for presentation Until the audience was indistinguishable from saying: “What is news and what is variety? Or reality”

However, I must admit that some media groups have created Lung Phol. How to present the news, create heroes as before In the case of a heroic taxi driver who can collect money But it eventually became fake news Or even in the case of a 30 million baht lottery that has been built on the teacher’s intuition That these things are not illegal But asked if it was appropriate or not, another matter

The news presentation itself must be done within the framework of reality, presenting objective information, not just entertainment. When it comes to presentation, a balance must be found for survival, ratings, and media adequacy. Because today there may not be any clear rules or lines. But professional advice may need to take this into account. Because it can become a long-term problem. And in the future, there may be an uncle Pon, second, third person.

However, Dr. Mana stated that some people, including media workers. He began to see that presenting Uncle Phol’s news was considered crossing the line Ready to ask questions about suitability Because it was a story that originated from the death of a girl, Uncle Phon Ban’s birth was normal. Social force also influences media pressures. From the previous case, there was pressure to withdraw sponsors from the program, so if the public saw that the media was acting incorrectly, it could be expressed. But it should not threaten people who still enjoy this type of media consumption for entertainment.
