TELEVISION

Cambodia's first television station, National Television Kampuchea (TVK), began broadcasting in 1966. Its studios were destroyed by the Khmer Rouge in 1975, but were re-established in 1979 under the Vietnamese-backed People's Republic of Kampuchea regime. TVK began broadcasting in color in 1986.

All of these stations have local programming, including serials, variety shows and game shows. Thai soap operas (dubbed in Khmer ) were extremely popular, until the backlash that fueled that the 2003 Phnom Penh Riots , after which Thai programs were banned.

NEWSPAPERS

There are more than 100 newspapers in Cambodia, but few of them actually keep regular publication schedules and have paid staffs. Many newspapers are run by political parties or individual politicians, so the coverage is often slanted. Reporters will sometimes demand payments from their sources to keep unfavorable stories, whether true or not, out of the paper.

However, reporters for the established vernacular dailies, as well as journalists working for Wire Services and the foreign-language press, generally do keep to a standard of ethics.
