Minister of Information Neth Pheaktra has reiterated the importance of traditional media, noting that it has an important role to play in a digital context, where true and false information are often mixed together.
Prime Minister Hun Manet has called on the Kingdom’s media outlets and journalists to live up to their role as the “fourth estate”, while stressing the necessity for legal provisions to govern the sector.
The Ministry of Information is finalizing the long-overdue draft law on the access to information, known as the “A2I draft law”, as highlighted in its work direction for 2024. The draft law is currently being reviewed by the Ministry of Justice, according to documents viewed by CamboJA.
