Members wore red at the company awards ceremony this week to show pride in our colleagues’ work. Do leaders share that pride? AP execs are undercutting our journalism while honoring the best of our journalists. We call for a reinstatement of our expert photo and video producers.

#Thailand: The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Thai politician and financier Vorapak Tanyawong to drop his criminal defamation suit against investigative reporter Tom Wright, following a Thai court’s decision to hear two separate complaints. Wright, the Singapore-based co-founder of the corruption-focused Whale Hunting newsletter, told CPJ that the two charges focus on his reporting alleging that Vorapak was involved in a criminal network that laundered funds from Cambodian scam centers through Thai financial institutions. Vorapak, who resigned as deputy finance minister in October 2025, days after Whale Hunting published one of several investigative reports, has denied the allegations. Wright told CPJ that Whale Hunting “will not be deterred” and is “prepared to fight this in court to protect the truth.” More: cpj.org/2026/10/thai-court-t… #PressFreedom #JournalismIsNotACrime
