Sample Monthly Counseling Statements

for relief! Call for support

For almost three weeks, the daily France-Soir Khmer Cambodia is no longer on the newsstands or distributed to its subscribers. A social movement was launched Monday, June 11 to ask management a explanation for the unjustified exclusion of a journalist, who was subsequently charged with publishing an article "sensitive". The day after the onset of this movement, the paper's editor, saying that no discussion was possible, announced to the whole writing of the closure of the company that publishes editions of the Mekong Cambodge Soir. The reason given? The "bankrupt" economy.
Since then, administrators have neither confirmed nor denied officially the news.
Writing is still awaiting clarification on the situation of the newspaper. Despite our various meetings with partners in the newspaper, administrators maintain silence on the future of Cambodge Soir. No discussion with the writing took place.
This crisis has highlighted the danger to the editorial independence of Cambodge Soir that we want to defend. As for threats of extinction of the title, they have not prevented us to reflect on concrete proposals to ensure its sustainability.
Cambodge Soir is nothing without its readers and it is through your support that will ensure its rebirth.
