Francesca Unsworth, director of the BBC World Service Group, deputy director of news and current affairs, says she is seeking 'a balanced operating environment'. Ms Unsworth was visiting Bangkok last week to meet a new batch of BBC Thai staff members recruited from late last year to early this year. On Nov 16 last year its BBC Thai website was launched providing news content in the Thai language. However, just a few weeks later, a controversial BBC Thai article was blocked by the Thai government. According to a source, BBC Thai is now one one of the top 20 language services of the BBC.
