Social media overtakes TV as news source in Cambodia.
Facebook trumps TV
Fri, 16 December 2016

Facebook has, for the first time, overtaken television as the main source of news for Cambodian people – a trend that analysts say could threaten the ruling party’s grip on the Kingdom’s media coverage.
In an annual report focused on mobile phone use in Cambodia released by the Asia Foundation and Open Institute yesterday, the most important source of news for 30 percent of Cambodians was found to be Facebook and the internet, followed closely by television (29 percent), word of mouth (23 percent) and radio (15 percent).

I see this as a good thing. Anywhere the media is state owned you get fed the same BS day in day out. Now citizens can a different distorted view on issues that impact their lives.

And Facebook is working with governments to block "fake news." That's some bullshit.

Splain Lucy. Why is that BS. I'm a lil partial to the Zuckerburg phenom I'll admit.General Mackevili wrote:And Facebook is working with governments to block "fake news." That's some bullshit.
