To strengthen journalists’ practice of professional ethics in Cambodia, the Cambodian Center for Independent Media (CCIM) is initiating a project in 2009 titled “Enhancing Independent Media in Cambodia,” with generous funding from the European Union.
This report comprises the first phase of that project. It aims to identify, analyze, and offer solutions to the ethical dilemmas facing Cambodian journalists.
Those ethical problems include:
- Strengthening the legal framework for free media activities, particularly broadcast radio through policy and legislation.
- Raising the awareness of Cambodian journalists on responsible and professional journalism practices.
- Establishing a standardized code of ethics for Cambodian journalists reflecting professionalism, independence in reporting, and respect for the rights of journalists.
By identifying and targeting those problems, CCIM can better cater its programs to fill the gaps hindering Cambodia’s media environment.
