The "Verse Editorial" in Thai Journalism

Journalism Quarterly, volume 39, issue 1 (1962), pp. 70-74
"The verse editorial, a commentary written in poetry, not only is a curious and colorful aspect of the vernacular press in Thailand, but also reveals the spirit of Thai journalism. Poetic indirection enables editors to raise doubts or to discuss touchy moral issues, as well as entertain." (Abstract)
