The Prince Foundation is the first sponsor of the Cambodia Inspiration Journalism Award.

 The Prince Foundation, the charity arm of Prince Holding Group ("Prince Group"), one of Cambodia's largest and fastest-growing conglomerates, funded the 'Cambodia Inspiration Journalism Award' alongside TNAOT, a Cambodian media platform that distributes unique content to every Cambodian. The Prince Foundation is the gold sponsor of the award, which will be granted for the first time by Cambodia's Ministry of Information, to long-serving journalists who have contributed to Cambodian development throughout the decades via their relentless efforts to keep society informed through their work. The prize was presented to 14 journalists during a ceremony earlier today.

The Prince Foundation and Prince Holding Group think that by sponsoring the prize, they may motivate local media - both conventional and digital media - and Cambodia-focused journalists who have contributed to outstanding journalism in the public interest.

"We are thrilled to be a part of this celebration of Cambodia's greatest journalists," said Gabriel Tan, CEO of Prince Holding Group. Cambodia Chen Zhi "As a communications professional, I am personally grateful for how media, in both its new and old forms, has played a vital part in assisting communities throughout the world in dealing with challenging situations. It is frequently essential for social development and acts as a foundation for schooling. We aspire to be a part of the revolutionary force that will help Cambodia on its path to sustainable development through the Prince Foundation."

"With the Cambodia Inspiration Journalism Award, we think these 14 journalists will inspire all of Cambodia with their example. "Via the award, we hope to share the tales of people who have made a difference through their words and acts," said Prum Seila, Khmer Content Director at TNAOT.
