Tendency of News
• We hardly find out the news standing neutrally. All the local TV and its radio stations are politically bias and in favor for the ruling government and very fewer newspapers and radio stations that support the opposition parties. Except, the international radio and news agencies such as: Radio Free Asia, VOA, Cambodge Soir, The Cambodia Daily, Phnom Penh Post, and other Australia Radios have seen standing in balanced position.
My Personal Comments• Cambodia is very limited in mass medias through out the
country. People are hardly accessed to information via newspapers and TVs. Radio could probably be coverage up to 70% of its population. As far as I concerned, the newspaper could access to about 30% of adults population and TV is likely the least coverage areas.
• The main things to barrier the accessibility of mass medias due to the poverty widespread and people could not afford to pay for the news. Furthermore, about 35% of adult population are illiterate.
• Therefore, the improvement of mass medias to be widely accessed are the main challenges for all concerned parties.
