In the occasion of the World Press Freedom Day on May 3, 2019, the Khmer-language VOD news website is launching its English pages to share to the non-Khmer online users its newsworthy and informative stories on Cambodia. VOD’s English page is publishing in-depth, feature and investigative stories which some of them are going to be translated from VOD’s Khmer website.
VOD’s mission is to provide the people of Cambodia with greater access to reliable, relevant, and independent media and contribute in promoting media freedom, human rights, democracy and good governance in Cambodia.
“We highly regard the launching of the English pages of VOD’s news website as another remarkable turning point in our mission to promote independent media, press freedom and access to information. We are able to inform the larger online users on what is happening in Cambodia”, CCIM’s Media Director, Mr. Nop Vy explains.
VOD news website (https://vodhotnews.com) was launched by the Cambodian Center for Independent Media (CCIM) in 2011 which is now accommodating an average of 10,000 daily unique visitors and with its Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/VODkhmer/) which is gaining more than a million followers. In 2014 World Press Freedom Day, VOD launched its Online TV News (www.vodhotnews.com/tv), which is now integrated in the VOD news website.
VOD as a media outfit began its operation in 2003 using a broadcast platform producing radio bulletin news and radio talk shows. Until now, VOD continues to produce these programs for online broadcast to continue its mission of providing relevant information the people, aside from the VOD news website.
“With VOD English page, it will support our mission to promote people’s rights to access trusted information”, Mr. Vy added.
