14 of Cambodia’s top journalists felicitated at event held at Ministry of Information
Prince Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Prince Holding Group (“Prince Group”), one of Cambodia’s largest and fastest-growing conglomerates, supported the ‘Cambodia Inspiration Journalism Award’ alongside TNAOT, a Cambodian media platform that provides exclusive content for every Cambodian. Prince Foundation is the gold sponsor for the award that will be given for the first time by the Ministry of Information, Cambodia, for long-serving journalists that have contributed to Cambodian development over the decades through their tireless efforts to keep society informed through their work. At the event held earlier today, 14 journalists received the award.

It is often vital for social development and serves as a pillar of education. Through Prince Foundation, we hope to be part of the transformative force that will aid Cambodia on its journey towards sustainable development.”
