because what is newsworthy is not a rational thing, it's 100% emotional based.General Mackevili wrote:^ Me thinks you're right.
first of all, the dead guy was a guy, so nobody gives a shit.
but if it was a female journalists it would be a scoop, western medias love these stories with "empowered strong independent" women fighting corruption and getting killed, they're still talking about the Politkovskaya case after 8 years !
but if a male journo is shot in sirya or afghanistan it's not even reported unless he's famous, a local journo like this guy is barely newsworthy in south east asia and 0% newsworthy abroad.

Not headlines but not one-liners either.

Hopefully will get out there enough to be embarrassing. Especially since all the articles link it to previous cases with illegal logging - makes it difficult to make out that this is a one-time event. (OMG, illegal logging in Cambodia?? Who would've guessed?)
Also interesting that there was no immediate coverup for the officials involved.

"Hopefully will get out there enough to be embarrassing." If embarrassment were a real issue in Cambodia, the govt. would have fallen many years ago.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Follow-up from the Cambodia Daily:

Ok,this is new - looks like they are taking the fall for their bosses - who are named here in the CD article:
“The three hit men are strongmen who operate an illegal logging route between Mondolkiri, Kratie and Vietnam. But two strongmen brothers in this area stand behind them,” he said, referring to deputy Snuol district military police commander Chhun Khoeun and his brother, Chhun Phoeun, whose warehouse the reporters went to investigate on the night of the murder.
Mr. Khoeun on Monday said the case had nothing to do with him and denied that he had made a telephone call to the group of reporters on Sunday morning warning them to get away from the warehouse, as they claim.
“Call the provincial police—they have caught the killers already,” he said.
