A Cambodian journalist has won a United Nations (UN) fellowship which will take him to New York to learn about the work of the UN and to cover UN activities, a press release said in Phnom Penh on Tuesday.
Khan Sophirom, a reporter from the Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper, has been selected to attend the 2007 Reham Al Farra Memorial Journalists' Fellowship Program, said the press release issued by the UNDP communications office in Cambodia, adding that the program will take place from September 4 to October 11.
The program, formerly known as the United Nations Department of Public Information Training Program for Broadcasters and Journalists from Developing Countries, was renamed for a United Nations Radio journalist Reham Al Farra, who lost her life along with 21 colleagues in the bombing of the UN office in Baghdad in August 2003, the press release said.
Khan Sophirom will attend the program together with 13 other journalists from around the world, it said, adding that he will be the third journalist from Cambodia to attend the program.
Initiated in 1981, the program has so far trained more than 300 journalists from more than 156 countries, it said.
During the program, the journalists report on the work of the General Assembly as temporary UN correspondents for their media organizations, it added.

Congratulations! He will learn what is the ethic code and role of journalist to bring the news to reach the public as neutral. When he comes back he might change some his washed brain to democratic views not like right now.
