Cambodian Magazines: More Drawbacks than Good

Indeed, I do appreciate the openness to communal notion and other reasoning curiosity of the Cambodian government, and this is the message to enumerate the world; specifically Cambodia, that nearly all of the magazines based in Cambodia are converting the genuine good-faith of the Royal Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia into their lucrative purpose.

I do not know the exact number of magazines based in Cambodia, but as a translator, author, media liaison officer, old assistant to a Member of Parliament, and L.L.B student, I dare to say that I may know approximately the total number of magazines which have their headquarters in Cambodia.

All most all of the magazines use "sex-oriented" methodology to attract subscribers, especially youth and young adults. As we know, sex is probably one of the lucrative businesses in our world, and because knowing this psychological circulation, nearly all of the magazines have turned the clean purpose of their opportunities into a lucrative company without reasoning of any repercussion.

Cambodia lacks behind other Southeast Asian countries in term of human resources, because of this merits, magazines are foreseen, to be the frontrunners in diversifying knowledge and know-how to Cambodian fellow citizens; however, this vision is non-existent, because of "profit-oriented" mindset.

I do not say that "sex-oriented" magazines should not be authorized to operate in Cambodia, but we must make a balance on this decision. In the case of the United States of America, education-oriented publications are grandly diverse, but Cambodia is truly in need of much and much more human resources: sex may stand in the second hierarchy.

I found many more negatives aspects in magazines, but the purpose of this report is to enumerate "the upside-down" use of this media publication.

Finally yet importantly, I would like to propose all the magazines in Cambodia to steer their company to more educational surroundings.
