Media, both traditional and social, has become an essential part of daily life for many individuals, organizations, and communities. With the wide range of communication tools available, it is now possible to not only consume information, but also create it. While media can be a powerful tool for gaining knowledge and shaping perspectives, it can also have negative consequences if not consumed critically.
In emerging countries like Cambodia, media pluralism and freedom of speech are often limited by under-regulated legislation and a lack of diversity in media ownership. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Cambodia recently recommended that the government improve media pluralism and introduce legal framework related to media. Additionally, social media usage in Cambodia is on the rise, with the percentage of active users doubling in the last five years, reaching 74% in 2022.
To further understand media usage in Cambodia, Love Frankie and TGM Research have collaborated to conduct a study on how people access information and express their views online in the country.
