All newspapers have copy and sub editors. The English and Khmer edition had at least two sub editors each, whose job it is to do proof all stories regardless of who wrote them. English for English edition, Khmer for Khmer.Gilmore wrote:Plenty of grammatical and lexical errors in the local articles, suggesting that the Khmer guys' work was previously proofed by native speakers.

Today's paper was printed as a 16 page edition vs the more normal 24 page. It also did not include a masthead, which is a very, very strange thing for a paper to do.

Nothing new, except perhaps the comment that suggests resignations were because management would not fully discuss enployees' grievances.

There are no reliable sources of information left. Not for ordinary people, diplomats or NGOs
...
I got my start as a journalist when the Phnom Penh Post commissioned some features from me. I arrived in Cambodia as a volunteer for an NGO, but my desire to become a freelance journalist was encouraged by senior editors and well-known correspondents I met at a Mexican restaurant called Cantina in Phnom Penh.
Cantina was a watering hole for foreign correspondents and staffers at the Post and Daily. When I arrived there on a Thursday in 2013 I found a welcoming attitude: “You want to be a journalist? Go on and do it then.” After a few months I submitted a freelance feature to the Post. When it ran I was so pleased that I emailed it to my family.
...
Cambodians simply want to say and read what they like without fear. As a white reporter I have more leeway but even this piece I have chosen to write anonymously due to an atmosphere of oppression that people living in liberal democracies thankfully don’t have to deal with.
