Government officials are finally letting Ros Sokhet publish his newspaper, and he only had to change the name – twice.

The Khmer Nation, called Revelation-Corruption News in a former life, and Anti-Corruption News in the life before that one, is supposed to hit newsstands today in Phnom Penh.

Ros Sokhet, 43, said he printed 1,000 copies of the four-page, black and white weekly.

The paper, put together with a staff of six salaried reporters, costs 1,000 riel (US$0.25).

Earlier this year, officials from the Ministry of Information rejected the two previous choices on the basis of the word “corruption”.
