History edit
On September 11, 1993, Éditions du Mékong, a private French-Cambodian corporation, created a bimonthly publication known as Le Mékong.[2]
In May 1995, Le Mékong changed the name to Cambodge Soir Info pop (Cambodian Evening) and only published on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.[3] In July 1997, Cambodge Soir Info started to publish daily.[4]
In March 2007, the internet version of the printing publication was created officially under the same name.[5] That edition, however, stopped publishing in June 2007.[6]
In October 2007, it was reopened under the new name of Cambodge Soir Hebdo and started to publish every Tuesday.[7]
In November 16, 2009, the Cambodian journalist Ung Chansophea won the French Freedom of Press prize for a report he did on mistreated women in Cambodia.[8]
During 2010, the company stopped trading and closed the newspaper and ceased publication.
In June 2011, the H2O Media office was opened at the building.[citation needed]
