On June 3, 2011, Andrew MacGregor Marshall resigned from Reuters after 17 years as an international correspondent when the news agency refused to publish his exclusive analysis of Thailand's monarchy based on thousands of leaked U.S. cables.

This is the story that Reuters refused to run.

"Perhaps the biggest bombshell of reportage on Thailand in decades," Joshua Kurlantzick, Southeast Asia fellow, Council on Foreign Relations

â€œOur understanding of the King Lear element in the Thai agony has been vastly illuminated by the WikiLeaks masterwork being produced by the former Reuters journalist Andrew MacGregor Marshall. Marshall describes his distillation of 3000 US diplomatic cables on Thailand as â€˜lÃ¨se majestÃ© on an epic scaleâ€™. This is a statement of plain truth, not bravadoâ€¦ The result is journalism of the highest order.â€ â€” Graeme Dobell, Lowy Institute for International Policy

â€œThis is the back-story to Thailandâ€™s political convulsions, which is why scholars will be poring over the â€˜Thaistoryâ€™, as will American diplomats and their embarrassed confidants.â€ â€” The Economist magazineâ€™s Banyan blog

â€œMarshall â€¦ offers an account of Thailandâ€™s recent troubles that is unprecedented in its scope and candor, reaching back through the countryâ€™s history to provide insight into the current situation.â€ â€” Erika Fry in the Columbia Journalism Review

â€œReuters didnâ€™t publish this story as we didnâ€™t think it worked in the format in which it was delivered. We had questions regarding length, sourcing, objectivity, and legal issues. Also, we were concerned the writer wasnâ€™t participating in the normal editing process that would apply to any story Reuters publishes.â€ â€” Reuters statement on why it refused to publish articles related to #thaistory. I resigned as a result.
