LICADHO Report: Media Plagued by Fear and Corruption

02-May-2008

Publication : Press Release

Cambodia’s media is often described as one of the freest in the region, but in reality journalists describe an environment in which the pursuit of truth is undermined by political bias, fear and corruption. Most of Cambodia’s media outlets are aligned to political party and most favor the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP). Bribes are so commonplace they are not even considered corruption. Formal censorship exists and self-censorship is widespread through Cambodia’s media.
