Chhorn Chansy, former assignment editor at the Cambodia Daily, yesterday said he was very sad to learn of Mr Krisher’s death. “It is very sad news. Although he has passed away, he will still be in my heart as well as that of Cambodian children who he helped,” he said. “He is a legend.” Mr Chansy noted that Mr Krisher established an independent newspaper to provide news without fear or favour to Cambodian readers, adding that the Cambodia Daily also provided information to the world, was a voice for poor people and a hub to train young journalists. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50588043/daily-publisher-bernard-krisher-dies-at-87/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
