| Excerpt from a paper,
submitted by student Pen Sophal: In third world countries like Cambodia, social issues is a major problem for development. Radio is the most influential tool at this moment to help people, whom many of them are illiterate and live in the countryside, become aware of things happening around them and get ideas of making a good decision. Feature and magazine program is what I would like to focus on. Almost all radio stations are state-controlled (there is one opposition radio in Cambodia right now), and we have few local radio stations, which just entertain or are government-backed. Recently, Cambodian Club of Journalism, the biggest Journalism Club in Cambodia, has done research on possibilities of setting up community radio. Negatively responding to this, government officially decided not to give license to those who want to set up community radio until broadcast law exists. |
