Joint Statement
Our Spotlights
Journalism internship inspires the voices of Indigenous youth
Roeun Sophorn, an indigenous youth from Kratie province, has recently completed a journalism internship with the Women’s Media Centre (WMC). The internship helped him build confidence in news reporting and expanded his interest in telling more stories about his community through journalism. As he wrapped up the internship, Sophorn is seeking opportunities to continue working in the newsroom. The internship is part of the Minority Journalism Training activity funded by the EU through IMS (International Media Support) and implemented by CCIM.
Journalism training and internship that give voices to Indigenous youth
Long Samneang, a young woman from the Kuoy indigenous group in Stung Treng province, has also recently completed a journalism internship with the CamboJA news outlet. The internship has provided her an opportunity to report on indigenous community and scamming, foreign affairs, environment, education. The internship program is part of the Minority Journalism Training activity funded by the EU through IMS (International Media Support) and implemented by CCIM.
Journey of youth becoming a citizen journalist
Seng Landy, a youth from Kampong Thom province, applied to take part in citizen journalism training organized by CCIM in May 2024. Driven by a desire to see stories on local communities developed in an accurate and fair manner, he continues to work as a citizen journalist today to be the voice of the community. His community reporting interests range from land conflict, indigenous communities and environmental issues to good governance and local health problems. As a result, a video produced by Landy in May 2025 which reported on poor service at a local one-window service, led to improved service delivery for the community.
