We’ve covered the political situation in Thailand before in this podcast – a constant struggle between pro-democracy factions and former royalist powers. Although there are members of the press on both sides, the idea and maintenance of press freedom itself remains a challenge, especially since the 2014 military coup.

In this episode, we're talking with New, a citizen journalist and pro-democracy activist who believes that there are ways to maintain your safety while still being very very critical of the government. New is not employed by any news organisation and covers protests voluntarily.

In this episode, we're talking about New's personal experiences, how to stay safe, and, of course, the kind of regional solidarity that we need for Thailand across Southeast Asia.
