JOB VACANCY: The Cambodia Daily Looks for Chief Copy Editor

This is our job board for expats. Until ZipRecruiter and Indeed make their way to the Kingdom of Wonder, this is the best place to look for employment in Cambodia, whether you're looking to teach English, manage a 5-star hotel, volunteer, or even work for some of the big NGOs. Even digital nomads who move to Cambodia sometimes need a side gig as a TEFL instructor from time to time. Most professional expatriate jobs are in Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap and Kampot are emerging as attractive alternatives. If you're an employer or hiring manager, you're also welcome to post your job listing here for free.

I used to be a journalist and sub-editor. I can't imagine trying to do that job here.

What's that copy editor? Perhaps someone recently reprimanded at the KT could fill the position.

What are the local papers going to pay for this sort of job, or for being editor? I see there are a few openings around.
