English-language Cambodian newspaper closes

One of the three daily English-language newspapers in Cambodia will close, due to financial troubles, Agence France-Presse reported Monday.

The Mekong Times, also published in Cambodian, launched in February.

“We have decided to stop publishing because of a budget crisis,” Neth Pheaktra, editor-in-chief of The Mekong Times, told AFP in an article posted by The Standard. Exact details of the budget crisis were not disclosed.

Following The Mekong Times closure, Cambodia will have two English-language dailies and one English-language weekly.
