To clarify. Articles are cited when they have come from (and use) the local news as sources for translation. That's just a common courtesy and useful to Khmer speakers/readers.
When something is sent in to CNE (which is quite often), if the source does not want credit, then there is no link. And yes, a lot of folks send us stuff to use.
If you check the local news, as we do, the plagiarism is totally ingrained, so we feel we actually do a favor to the site we see it first or get the better story from by linking them.
No other news sites (even those who quote CNE) bother to give a credit, so credit where it is due, this site mostly does.
Press releases and anonymous tips do not merit, or cannot be given links. And yes, sometimes even use our own stuff. So far none of the outlets used has raised any complaint, and seeing as this is a very niche audience, they probably won't.
The only problems have been from pissed off foreigners who have found themselves exposed (via local news).
This is a free to use service, which makes next to nothing in actual money. No likey, no read, KT, PPP, CEONEWS are always there a few days later (without the source, though admittedly sometimes more accurate with the details... *not ceonews).
Take it or leave it.
TLDR: Yeah, we do what we do until told to stop.
