Recently, two editors resigned and two newspapers were 'closed down' by the government albeit for a week or two.

One editor was forced to resign by circumstances of 'inaccurate reporting' and took full responsibility, the other appeared not to have had much choice, although his paper reported that he resigned voluntarily. A third newspaper seemed to have gotten away with a warning.

In all three cases, the editors-in-chiefs apologised for their 'mistakes' or error in editorial judgment and one had resigned as well. All three newspapers received warning letters from the Internal Security Ministry and the Cabinet ordered one to close down indefinitely. But, that is not the full story, there is RTM, TV3 and ntv7. What else, God only knows?
