Democratic states and free and independent media are closely interlinked and interacting. The diversity and quality of the media is essential for constituting a broadly, diversely and well informed public. To ensure that media can properly fulfill its information and education function it is of utmost importance to develop and implement democratic regulations that assure program diversity and objectivity to strengthen free formation of opinions in a pluralistic society. Consequently the aim of this study is to expedite the development and acceptance of a transparent and democratic media regulation in Cambodia. Moreover, the study offers practical ideas and options for Cambodian lawmakers, journalists and other media professionals on how to create and develop such a framework.
