Cambodia Daily Closes

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Lots of back slapping and chest puffing in that article.

Defiant Cambodia Daily is down but not out
Tokyo-based publishing family hopes to resurrect paper forced to shut last month after claim it owes huge tax bill
22 October 2017
- Cambodia ranks 132nd out of 180 countries in the latest World Press Freedom Index compiled by Reporters Without Borders, an independent watchdog. That ranking was published before the government silenced several radio stations, including the Voice of Democracy (funded by the European Union) and the U.S.-funded Voice of America. In September it was the turn of The Cambodia Daily, shut down by an impossibly large tax bill.

“The government never liked us, but it always used us to say that the country has a free press,” says Deborah Krisher-Steele, the paper’s deputy publisher and daughter of Bernard Krisher, its Tokyo-based founder. Deborah’s husband, Douglas Steele, the daily’s general manager, is still kicking his heels in Phnom Penh, unable to leave. “If I went to a border or an airport I would be arrested,” he said over his cellphone...

As for The Cambodia Daily, it will go on, says Krisher-Steele. Her father wants to take it offshore, and perhaps exclusively online — a sort of electronic version of its original incarnation: an A4-sized newsletter (so formatted so it could faxed from overseas). That will require donors, and journalists inside Cambodia willing to risk writing for it.
Any offer of American or Japanese government help will be rejected, Krisher-Steele says.

And it would be risky, wouldn’t it? It would take balls/strong legs to write about Cambodia from within Cambodia knowing full well Prey Sar may be in your future.

They're..​ well, "someone" has resurrected the daily twitter and fb accounts, much to the disgust of various ex Daily staff, who lost their jobs due to their employer's lackadaisical approach to compliance.

CD resurrected online amid much debate on style and timing.

Cambodia Daily brings out online-only platform
26 October 2017
The shuttered Cambodia Daily announced late on Tuesday night that it has “relaunched” as a noncommercial publication. On its Facebook page, the Daily announced the re-opening as “a digital only, non-commercial publication based off shore”. Several items – including an aggregated news round-up and a “Timeline of Ongoing Descent” – were posted to the Daily website yesterday.

Cambodia Daily Deputy Publisher Deborah Krisher-Steele described the relaunch as a “group effort” for which she provided the platform. Her two main objectives, she said, were to keep the people involved safe, and “keeping the hope alive that journalism isn’t squashed”.

While welcoming the potential reemergence of the Daily, Cambodian Institute for Media Studies Director Moeun Chhean Nariddh questioned the timing. He argued that it would need to have local staff to produce original content – not to just rely on other outlets – and had to identify the names of reporters.
“Otherwise they don’t look professional,” he said. Local reporters, however, would have to apply for press passes with the Information Ministry, which he doubted they would receive.
“For the time being they should wait until the situation has become better. Probably after the elections,” he said.

The Daily’s former politics editor, Ben Paviour, said he had concerns about the safety of the paper’s former journalists living in Cambodia, who might be implicated despite not being involved.

Article from the latest edition of The Atlantic Monthly.

When the Presses Stop
Bernie Krisher helped bring free journalism to Cambodia. Now, as the country reverts to autocracy, his paper has been shut down. Will he survive the heartbreak? Will Cambodia?

The man on the bed in the Tokyo apartment was shriveled and weak. His bare legs poked like sticks out of his short one-piece pajamas. As he beckoned to his daughter, Debbie, his arm shook. “Put me in the wheelchair,” he said in a hoarse whisper.

When I first met Bernie Krisher, in 2001, he was spry and wiry, with apparently infinite energy. He seemed to hardly sleep, preferring to spend every moment badgering someone for something. His had been a lifetime of willfulness. As a child, he escaped the Holocaust. As a reporter in Asia, he interviewed President Sukarno of Indonesia and the Japanese emperor Hirohito, then launched a tabloid that revolutionized Japanese media...
