## About

Khaosod English ports selected coverage from Thailand's Khaosod newspaper into English with a populist edge, filing politics, social issues, lese-majeste cases and feature reporting for international readers seeking critical Thai coverage. The pace is digital-first and the register relatively informal, with reporting that has covered topics like youth-led democracy protests and military scrutiny that some Thai English peers handle more cautiously. Its irreverent tone distinguishes it from broadsheet competitors.

## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
