Reflections from the Mirror
From 1997 to 2006, Norbert Klein edited “The Mirror” for Open Forum, providing short summaries of news articles with some extra commentary. (Also available via email).
From 1998 to 2006, the Khmer “Kanychok Sangkum (Mirror of Society)” was also produced, until funding issues caused both publications and Open Forum to close their doors.
Now the Mirror is back, as (surprise) a weblog.

Open Forum has changed hands, and re-booted CambodiaCIC.info – with new staff and change of domain name.
Meanwhile, the new local organization Open Institute is running “The Mirror”, including some prior staff from Open Forum.
Looks like Open Institute won’t have the resources to produce Kanychok Sangkum in the immediate future.

I don’t know the full story. Hopefully having two re-branded organizations dedicated to the information technology field will make even more resources available to local techies. Wouldn’t bet the farm on it though. We’ll just wait and see.
