MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN PHNOM PENH

Cambodia's capital features a multilingual news market defined by a distinct split between domestic Khmer-language dailies and a historically influential English-language press. The English sector is anchored by The Phnom Penh Post, a traditionally dominant publication founded in 1992, alongside the internationally recognized Cambodia Daily. The majority of the domestic readership relies on native Khmer-language publications for local reporting. Prominent examples serving this core demographic include the widely circulated Koh Santepheap Daily and Kampuchea Thmey Daily. Paperboy lists 10 newspapers in Phnom Penh.
