The Club of Cambodian Journalists said the Thai outlets Khaosod and The Nation of Thailand had published inaccurate information and continued to do so. The Club said the reporting showed a lack of professionalism, undermined trust in the media at a critical time, caused confusion, and harmed both the situation along the border and the efforts of the two sides to reach a peaceful solution with international support.
The Club urged those Thai outlets to uphold professional standards, check and carefully verify their sources, and help ease tensions in the conflict by avoiding nationalist or racial incitement in their reporting.
The Club said it would continue to stand with journalists in both countries who report professionally and ethically. It reaffirmed its commitment to defending press freedom and countering false information, or fake news.
