'Ditch' Becomes 'Precipice'

Twenty-two people, mainly Sri Lankan tourists, were hurt when their tour bus overturned in a ditch in Ratchaburi’s Photharam district on Thursday afternoon.

The local newspaper "Mawbima" reported this incident today under the title, "Thailanthayedi Sri Lankikayan giya bus rathayak prapaathayakata peraleyi" or "A Bus Falls to a Precipice with Sri Lankans on board".

While the details of the story is correct, the headline completely misleads the reader. Since a photograph is not produced with the article, the reader cannot understand for himself that the newspaper has used a misleading headline.
