According to the newspaper, 50 000 are published daily six days a week and 1 300 are distributed free of charge in Phnom Penh to government offices and coffee shops. It covers all sorts of news, from sports to international news. Its parent website (www.nokorwatnews.com) gets 20,000 to 25,000 visitors a day, according to Nokor Wat Daily.

The Cambodian media landscape counts at least two new outlets, a TV and a newspaper. Since the former started its daily activity and the latter its broadcasting in 2015, MOM decided not to include as most relevant medium. With less than a year of existence, the audience shares would not be representative of their popularity.
It can be highlighted, however, that their growth is taking place rapidly and their strategy seems more aggressive than the existing media on the market. Both are now hiring journalists and newsroom staffs from existing newsrooms, heightening the competition on both TV and print sectors, which are already highly concentrated.
