History
The Nation Multimedia Group's beginnings go back to 1971, when a new English language newspaper, The Voice of the Nation, was founded in Bangkok by some Thai journalists. The paper's name was eventually shortened to The Nation and the multimedia company grew up around it. Its shares were first listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in 1988 and it was registered as a public company in 1993.
It signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Eleven Media Group of Myanmar in May 2012 to form a joint venture in English-language publications.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“I saw the Arab map.
It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
—Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
