History

On September 11, 1993, Éditions du Mékong, a private French-Cambodian corporation, created a bimonthly publication known as ''Le Mékong''. In May 1995, ''Le Mékong'' changed the name to ''Cambodge Soir Info'' pop (Cambodian Evening) and only published on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In July 1997, ''Cambodge Soir Info'' started to publish daily. In March 2007, the internet version of the printing publication was created officially under the same name. That edition, however, stopped publishing in June 2007. In October 2007, it was reopened under the new name of ''Cambodge Soir Hebdo'' and started to publish every Tuesday. On November 16, 2009, the Cambodian journalist Ung Chansophea won the French Freedom of Press prize for a report he did on mistreated women in Cambodia.Adrien Le Gal, « Ung Chansophea remporte le prix francophone de la liberté de la presse », dans Cambodge Soir info, 12 novembre 200
