When independent journalism is silenced, democracy suffers. This project supports Cambodia's last remaining independent newsroom to deliver accurate, in-depth reporting while protecting journalists facing intimidation, harassment, and serious safety risks. As press freedom declines, your support helps sustain frontline reporting, strengthen journalist protection, and safeguard the public's right to credible information.
Independent journalism in Cambodia is under severe and growing threat. As media restrictions tighten, independent newsrooms face legal pressure, surveillance, intimidation, and financial instability. Journalists reporting on public interest issues risk harassment, physical danger, and self-censorship simply for doing their jobs. With most independent outlets already closed or silenced, the loss of Cambodia's remaining independent newsroom would leave the public without access to credible news.
This project strengthens Cambodia's last remaining independent newsroom so it can continue reporting on public-interest issues while protecting journalists working in high-risk conditions. Funding will sustain in-depth, fact-based coverage and enable the newsroom to operate independently despite mounting pressure. The project also provides holistic safety and protection support for journalists, including risk assessment, safety tools, emergency assistance, and psychosocial support.
By sustaining Cambodia's last independent newsroom and protecting journalists at risk, this project helps preserve long-term access to credible information for the public. The project also builds a safer, more resilient environment for journalists to continue reporting without fear, reducing self-censorship and enabling independent media to survive. Over time, it strengthens press freedom, supports democratic accountability, and reinforces freedom of expression as a fundamental human right.
