“Cho Pannika” is saddened that “Voice TV” has ended, worried about nearly 200 friends and siblings struggling to find new work in an era where the media industry is struggling. Looking back at working here for 6 years and 6 months, I did everything I wanted to do.
After Voice TV announced that it would cease operations and will stop broadcasting on all platforms within the month of May, later at 9:31 p.m. on April 26th. Ms. Pannika Wanich, spokesperson for the Faculty of Progress Former Voice TV announcer posted a message on Facebook Pannika Chor Wanich saying that there were a lot of people asking for bouquets. Why did you choose to work at Voice? Voice TV was Chor’s first job. At that time, I had just finished my master’s degree. No experience But Chor decided to apply for only one job, which was Voice, because he had returned from England with a firm goal of becoming a mass media person. On that day in 2011, there was only one media that Chor saw that was interested in news about world politics, human rights, and focused on international issues. It also has a modern presentation that captures people’s hearts. I believe that if I work here, He must have done something that was consistent with our beliefs. and create change
6 years 6 months working here I did everything I thought I wanted to do. And many other things that I never thought I would do. Traveled to many countries, reported, recorded, witnessed, and presented important events. From the US presidential election in the Trump era, the Myanmar election in the Suu Kyi era, the Brexit referendum, the report on the Rohingya refugee situation at Cox’s Bazar, the state funeral ceremony report for Lee Kuan Yew, and many others, we have made fun and challenging iASEAN programs. I read international news about Divas’Café and Tonight Thailand.
But the memory that stands out most is when I think back to Voice. It was the day that Prathip Kongsip, the voice director on that day, was involved. Forced to go out to receive the Buddha Isara mob and must bow down to the ground I remember well that he was involved. The room was closed and quiet. sitting alone We know that you are crying.
That day was no different from the day Voice was temporarily closed during the coup. It’s no different from the days when we had to work with soldiers holding guns standing guard all the time. We know that being a media person in a country that is a dictator hides our identity. It’s so bitter We must submit to power again and again.
But we can give up anything. Even our dignity What we won’t give up is honesty towards the profession It is to present news with honesty, creativity, and wisdom to society.
Today, Chor is sad about the end of Voice. I’m worried about my nearly 200 brothers and sisters who are struggling to find new jobs in an era where everyone in the media industry is struggling to survive. But I want to tell everyone that Be proud that we were once able to fulfill our duties as media. and is a part that drives society forward until today.
