Preah Sihanouk Provincial Television, July 31 — The Club of Cambodian Journalists said Thai media outlets Khaosod and The Nation of Thailand had published what it described as inaccurate information and were continuing to do so.
The club said such reporting showed a lack of professionalism and eroded public trust in the media at a critical moment. It said the reporting also added to confusion along the border and hampered efforts by both sides to find a peaceful solution with international support.
The club called on the two Thai outlets to uphold professional ethics, check sources rigorously and verify their reporting carefully. It urged them to help ease tensions by avoiding reports that incite nationalism or racism.
The club said it would continue working with journalists from both countries to uphold professional and ethical standards, defend press freedom and combat false information.
