The Union of Journalist Federations of Cambodia (UJFC) initiated the creation of the Cambodian Committee for Media Assessment (CCMA) on October 29, as a new mechanism to report on press freedom in Cambodia. This is the first time in history that a mechanism has been set up for the press to assess itself and acknowledge the need to improve. It requires relevant parties to improve the quality of the press together.
This will give more space to press freedom in Cambodia, give the press a more significant role in the process of democracy and contribute to the sustainable development of the nation,” the UJFC said. (The Phnom Penh Post)
