Cambodia Daily

Basic Details

The Cambodia Daily is an English and Khmer language news site that writes and aggregates news about Cambodia. It was originally an English-language daily newspaper.

The Cambodia Daily was started in 1993 by Bernard Krisher, an American journalist and Noun So Thero as manager. Krisher's aim for the paper, as outlined in an article in its first issue, was twofold: to create an independent newspaper of record and to train Cambodian journalists.The newspaper's motto was "All the news without fear or favor".

Krisher hired two young and relatively inexperienced journalists, Barton Biggs and Robin McDowell, as the paper's first editors. The first issue was published on August 20, 1993, and the last print issue was published in September 4, 2017. It relaunched as an online only news site on October 2017. At the time it started publication, The Daily was Cambodia's only English-language daily newspaper. The Phnom Penh Post, which had been in print since 1992, was only printed fortnightly until it began daily publication in early 2008. James Kanter served as editor in chief of The Cambodia Daily from 1995 to 1997.In this role Kanter has been a vocal defender of the freedom of the press in Cambodia.
