Preah Sihanouk Provincial Television, July 24 — This morning, during an interview with KPS99TV in Preah Sihanouk Province, Mr. Puy Kea, President of the Club of Cambodian Journalists (CCJ), said journalists play a crucial role in conflicts, particularly armed conflicts.
He said journalists need to continue providing the public with relevant information, especially developments on the Cambodia–Thailand border front line, so local residents can understand the situation in time and prepare in advance to evacuate to safe areas.
Mr. Puy Kea added that, in this context, journalists must continue following the developments of events and should give priority to information from official sources, such as statements from government agencies, the Ministry of National Defense or relevant ministries.
He also stressed that although border news is important, it is not always necessary to publish highly detailed footage, especially when it involves sensitive information such as troop movements and deployments or combat locations. He suggested that reports could omit precise locations and simply state that the conflict is continuing.
