Mixed feelings on World Press Freedom Day
3 May 2018
Several Cambodian press organisations issued a statement yesterday disputing negative media freedom reports, saying they regard press freedom in Cambodia as the best in the region.
The Cambodian Association for Protection of Journalists stated that it will join World Press Freedom Day today while vowing to encourage and develop journalism in the country, noting that the country enjoyed a free press.
“The government has always encouraged and developed abilities to promote press freedom and freedom of expression in Cambodia,” the statement said.
Earlier this year, the Cambodian Centre for Independent Media published a report that surveyed 75 media staff from 41 institutions and highlighted the closure of some independent radio stations and newspapers, as well as ‘legal’ threats against journalists.

I think that just like steam trains were a thing of the past, newspapers in the printed form are also a thing of the past. The costs [ and risks ] of producing a paper in a electronic form win hands down. Good-bye CD, Good-bye Post, and all those that follow.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

It is not a public holiday. The public holiday is because of the Royal Plowing Ceremony.Beerinthemorning wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 4:31 pm Every day is some kinda special day.

Media in Some Asian Nations Worse Off Than a Year Ago on World Press Freedom Day
2018-05-03
Some countries in East and Southeast Asia have little to celebrate on this year’s World Press Freedom Day, with the media worse off than they were a year ago as journalists face more instances of harassment, lawsuits, and even detention.
On Wednesday, a civil society coalition led by PEN Myanmar issued a scorecard noting a significant lack of progress in making key reforms to secure free expression in Myanmar and backsliding in other areas, such as freedom of assembly, speech, and opinion.
In response to the current climate, the Cambodia Center for Human Rights (CCHR), an NGO that promotes democracy and respect for human rights throughout the country, launched a 30-day social-media campaign to raise awareness of how journalists and other media professional function as a watchdog on those in power.
The theme is in keeping with the global theme of this year’s World’s Press Freedom Day, “Keeping Power in Check: Media, Justice, and the Rule of Law,” which also highlights the role of the press in elections to ensure transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.
“Press freedom is a crucial component of any healthy democracy,” said Sorn Ramana, CCHR’s protecting fundamental freedoms coordinator, in a statement. “The open exchange of information and ideas, including in relation to political and social issues, is key to ensuring transparency, justice, and the rule of law.”
“Moreover, the cultivation and protection of a free press is a key part of the government’s obligations to protect the right to freedom of expression, as guaranteed under the Cambodian constitution and binding international human rights law,” she said. “However, recent events have seen these obligations disregarded, as Cambodian media actors have come under relentless pressure amid a crackdown on critical voices.” ...
