Irish photojournalist Lauren Crothers on the conflicting emotions she is left with after seven years in Cambodia
https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-sty ... -1.3287439When I last wrote for Generation Emigration in The Irish Times in 2011, I had been in Cambodia for just over a year. I was happily ensconced at a local English-language newspaper, The Cambodia Daily, a scrappy enterprise founded in 1993 with a vow to tell “All The News, Without Fear or Favour”.
Hired by the paper’s Irish then-editor-in-chief, Kevin Doyle, I started off editing and soon progressed to chasing stories and taking photographs of my own.
