Re: Cambodia Daily Closes
is this not funded by the same three letter acronym entity with famous 3rd tier press organs specialising in agitprop all over the developing world for decades?
if not, it sure smells like one.

Re: Cambodia Daily Closes
The second worst thing about the debacle is the begging leter Bernie sent to the HE. He should have known better.
If I were him, I'd keep the paper running online by copying and pasting from the KT.
Also, the HE already tried silencing critics with Alex Gonzalez. Seems like you don't need to necessarily be in country to find out what's happening and have an effect.

Re: Cambodia Daily Closes
Steady on now, I was only meaning the neutral articles. At least the KT has some, although, that may change in the coming weeks. I don't think Fresh News has ever released a nuetral or non pro- government article since it's inception. That's not what it's about.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 03, 2017 6:34 pmOr Fresh News.AlonzoPartriz wrote: ↑Sun Sep 03, 2017 6:27 pm The second worst thing about the debacle is the begging leter Bernie sent to the HE.

Re: Cambodia Daily Closes
Cambodia Daily shuts with 'dictatorship' parting shot at prime minister HE
English-language newspaper had a reputation for breaking news about sensitive topics such as corruption and environmental issues
4 September 2017
One of Cambodia’s most stridently independent newspapers, the Cambodia Daily, published its last edition on Monday with the headline “Descent Into Outright Dictatorship” as it closed amid a crackdown on critics of prime minister HE.
The English-language paper had been given a deadline of one month to pay $6.3m in years of back taxes, which the publication disputed and described as “astronomical”.
Its final front page led with the arrest on Sunday of Cambodia’s main opposition leader, Kem Sokha, who was accused of treason in a significant escalation of the campaign against HE’s opponents. The paper also reported on its own closure.
“We have been a burr in HE’s side for the entire time that we have been operating,” said the newspaper’s American editor-in-chief, Jodie DeJonge...

Re: Cambodia Daily Closes
Farewell Cambodia Daily.
The Cambodia Daily confirms it will close on Monday
Sun, 3 September 2017
The Cambodia Daily today officially announced it will cease publication on Monday, following what it described in a press release as “extra-legal threats by the government”.
In the release, the Daily confirmed the newspaper would shut down over a $6.3 million tax dispute with the Cambodian government, a dispute that representatives and observers have condemned as being political in nature.
“The power to tax is the power to destroy. And after 24 years and 15 days, the Cambodian government has destroyed The Cambodia Daily, a special and singular part of Cambodia’s free press,” the statement reads.
The press release acknowledged the possibility of a “legitimate” dispute, but accused the Cambodian government of making “unfounded and defamatory” statements and handling the situation illegally and unprofessionally.
“The Daily has been targeted with an astronomical tax assessment, leaks and false statements by the tax department and public vilification by the head of government before an audit, much less a legal proceeding,” the release continues.
“On Monday, the Daily’s service to the Cambodian people will end. We want to thank … our staff, who have fought fiercely and courageously to report All the News Without Fear or Favor,” the statement concludes.
