The Phnom Penh Post, one of Cambodia's leading papers, launched its first daily edition on Friday, stepping up competition in the country's burgeoning media market.
"From today this paper will never be the same again,'' Post Media Ltd, the company behind the paper, said in a message published in the English-language publication.
The paper, founded by American journalist Michael Hayes 17 years ago, had published every two weeks.
The daily launch came after two Australian businessmen with stakes in Rangoon's The Myanmar Times weekly earlier this year took a controlling interest in the paper.
Cambodia now has four English-language papers and a number of glossy news magazines, as well as a large and lively Cambodian-language press.
