The Thai Broadcast Journalists Association today issued a statement calling on journalists to strictly abide by the code of ethics and to respect rights to privacy of people involved in the Tham Luang cave ordeal. It urges the media to be particularly careful in discussing personal details of the survivors who are mostly teenagers and to refrain from impeding the rescue operation in the course of carrying out their journalistic duty. The National Press Council of Thailand issued a similar statement last week.

Officials estimated that there are more than 1,000 journalists, both Thai and international, converging in Mae Sai district of Chiang Rai to cover the rescue operation.

More on the competitiveness of Thai media scrambling to cover global story...

One broadcaster was threatened with legal action for broadcasting a radio communication of officials during the rescue mission. Workpoint News, a leading digital broadcaster, had to issue an apology today for airing the sound clip.

The Royal Thai Air Force, has asked the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand to investigate PPTV’s use of the drone to take pictures of an army’s MI-17 helicopter evacuating the first batch of survivors from Tham Luang to Chiang Rai hospital.

Air Force spokesman Air Marshal Pongsak Semachai dismissed a claim by PPTV’s drone operator that he had permission to fly the aerial vehicle.

went INTO the cave system. Doesn't seem possible that a boy is close to coming out soon. ?

Yes, it may still be a while yet, if that is the correct time of entry. The rescues have been moving along much more quickly then they expected though, so who knows? It still is quite a bit of area to cover and anything can happen.
