Phnom Penh Post

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phnom Penh Post is a fortnightly English-language newspaper published in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Founded in 1992 by publisher Michael Hayes, it is Cambodia's oldest English-language newspaper. It is printed in full-color Berliner format.

It has a staff of Cambodian and foreign journalists covering national news, and also prints a police blotter, which has items translated from local Khmer-language dailies.

Since its founding in Phnom Penh in July 1992, the printed edition has been published on a fortnightly basis, and read in Cambodia and worldwide by over 20,000 people in more than 40 countries.

The Post's news and analysis has provided the most regular and thorough coverage of current issues in a rapidly-changing Cambodia ranging from the UN-sponsored Paris Peace Accords and subsequent elections to the promulgation of a new Constitution enabling the establishment of a new Constitutional Monarchy.

In early 2008, the newspaper received investment from some Australians and announced the intention to go daily.

Cambodia has another English-language newspaper, The Cambodia Daily.
