Khmer Times
The Khmer Times, launched in May 2014, is an English-language newspaper based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, owned and published by Virtus Media Pte., Ltd. The publication aims to report news from Cambodia, the region, and the world in an unbiased manner, publishing five days a week with continuous website updates. The newspaper claims to take “a neutral stance” and “not take sides on any issues,” publishing opinions from all political perspectives. However, outside characterizations indicate it is “strongly pro-CPP [Cambodian People’s Party] in its reporting and editorials.” The Khmer Times features business coverage, including Capital Cambodia weekly, property updates, a Youth Today section, lifestyle pages, and reader letters. Stories are regularly republished by international outlets including the Bangkok Post and The Economist. The publication emphasizes using experienced local journalists for news gathering, supplemented by foreign journalists serving as editors and photographers.
