Telephone: (00 94 11) 5353635 Fax: (00 94 11) 5335500 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.pccsl.lk OBJECTIVE To promote the Code of Professional Prac ce of The Editors’ Guild of Sri Lanka as a means towards promo ng self-regula on in the print media while emphasizing its importance towards ethical repor ng in building a socially responsible press; to resolve disputes between the print media and the public through concilia on, media on, arbitra on and to advocate for a more responsible media. VISION To provide an eff ec ve mechanism to readers in resolving complaints fast, free and fair and to promote good professional prac ces. MISSION To be the leader in Self-Regula on in Sri Lanka and the South Asia region. Message from the Chairman of the Press Complaints Commission of Sri Lanka The Press Complaints Commission of Sri Lanka established in 2003, has been functioning for the past 13 years, keeping to the vision of establishing an eff ective and effi cient self-regulatory body. The PCCSL is tasked with settling disputes between the press and the public arising out of press action, where all such disputes are to be settled through conciliation, mediation or arbitration overseen by an independent Dispute Resolution Council. This task has been implemented to a great extent through our “Right of Reply” published regularly in the mainstream newspapers in all three languages. We have also seen editors resolving complaints through correction in their own newspapers without any complaint being specifi cally addressed to them by the Press Complaints Commission of Sri Lanka. This, by itself, is a success, considering the situation that prevailed prior to the establishment of the PCCSL. We have also recently begun discussing the establishment of a blog which will add value to our already established website. The developing blog site will permit the public to highlight errors and violations of the Editors’ Code of Professional Practice. We are also hopeful that the electronic media will join us in our eff orts to develop an educated, ethical and responsible media. I must say that all in all, we have had a successful year. I take this opportunity to thank our sponsors for their fi nancial generosity and the Dispute Resolution Council for dealing eff ectively with all complaints addressed to them for their attention. Under the stewardship of Mr. Nihal Seneviratne, his Council members have taken great care to resolve diffi cult situations. Finally, the CEO of PCCSL and his team must also be appreciated for the wonderful work they have carried out to implement their activities during this year. Kumar Nadesan Chairman Board of Directors PCCSL 67 Message from the Chairman of the Dispute Resolution Council (DRC) The Dispute Resolution Council (DRC) set up under the aegis of the Press Complaints Commission of Sri Lanka has in 2015 met 11 times and almost on each occasion we have had more than the necessary quorum in doing our work. This year marks the 12th year of our being set up and we take pride that we have worked hard over the years to maintain our objectives of self-regulation and strict adherence to the Editors’ Code of Professional Practice. In the country there was a change in the presidency and the government which brought the state-run Associated Newspapers of Ceylon Limited (Lake House) within the self-regulatory process of the PCCSL. We record with satisfaction that all their publications continue to print the ‘Right of Readers’ public notice which accords to the guidelines set out by the PCCSL. It is also with pleasure that we record that a vast majority of the registered newspapers printed and published in the country have accepted the independent voluntary self-regulatory system. During the period under review, Jan. to Dec. 2015, the PCCSL received 142 complaints, 87 of which were in the Sinhala language press, 20 in the Tamil language press and 17 in the English language press. We note with concern some newspapers still prefer not to comply with the Rules and Procedures of the PCCSL, we hope in the upcoming year they will fall in line with the rest of the newspapers. We are also pleased to report that the PCCSL conducted two panel discussions on child abuse and the other, ‘Responsibility of the Media in Reporting Cases of Crime and Rights of the Victims.’ Both were well attended and we say thank you to all those panelists who gave of their time for a useful cause. The eNewsletter which has a readership of over 2500 here and abroad continues to be in circulation. This year due to unforeseen circumstances only four issues were produced. The PCCSL continued to make positive headway by meeting several members representing various sections of civil society and in addition, they held a series of programmes with Zonal Directors of Education, principals, teachers and students of government schools. Finally a well deserved word of thanks to the dedicated staff of the PCCSL Secretariat headed by Mr. Sukumar Rockwood, CEO. We also appreciate very much the eff orts of Mr. Kamal Liyanaarachchi, Complaints Offi cer, Sinhala Print and Mr. Ameen Hussain, Complaints Offi cer, Tamil Print. If not for their valuable inputs, we would not have been able to achieve our goals this year. Nihal Seneviratne Chairman Dispute Resolution Council Press Complaints Commission of Sri Lanka 68 Press Complaints Commission of Sri Lanka Annual Review 2015 01. Introduc on The PCCSL is the outcome of the Colombo Declara on on Press Freedom and Social Responsibility of 1998, which followed an interna onal seminar held in Colombo, organized by the Newspaper Society of Sri Lanka, The Editors' Guild of Sri Lanka and the Free Media Movement in associa on with the Sri Lanka Working Journalists Associa on, the World Associa on of Newspapers, the Commonwealth Press Union, the Interna onal Press Ins tute, Ar cle 19 and the Media Ins tute of Southern Africa. The Colombo Declara on was revisited in 2008. The PCCSL is an independent, voluntary, self-regulatory mechanism set up by the newspaper industry of Sri Lanka, which comprises the Newspaper Society of Sri Lanka, The Editors' Guild of Sri Lanka, the Free Media Movement and the Sri Lanka Working Journalists Associa on. It works on the principles of concilia on, media on and arbitra on under the Arbitra on Act No. 11 of 1995. It is modelled along the lines of similar Commissions in UK, Scandinavian countries and South Africa. The High Court of Colombo is empowered to enforce an arbitra on award made under the Act in the event a newspaper fails to publish the decision of the Dispute Resolu on Council of the PCCSL should a complainant wish to pursue a case where the editor is not abiding by the arbitral decision. 02. Execu ve summary The Press Complaints Commission of Sri Lanka (PCCSL) con nued building on the posi ve growth made in the previous year and successfully held 15 mee ngs a ended by 213 publishers, editors, sub-editors, journalists and provincial journalists. During the mee ngs, the importance of self-regula on and the Code of Professional Prac ce were discussed along with the PCCSL process in resolving complaints. The change in the presidency and the government brought the state-run Associated Newspapers of Ceylon Limited (Lake House) within the self-regulatory framework of the PCCSL with their publica ons publishing the ‘Right of Readers’ public no ce thereby subscribing to the PCCSL process. The independent self-regulatory system is widely accepted by a vast majority of the registered newspapers printed and published in the country. The success of the PCCSL can be measured in many ways; (a) the number of valid complaints received, i.e. complaints received falling within the mandate of the PCCSL. However, complainants remain sluggish in following up on their ini al (informal) complaint. (b) The number of complaints resolved outside of the PCCSL process has shown progress. The increased number of ‘Right of Reply’ responses in the form of correc ons, clarifi ca ons, apologies published by Sri Lankan newspapers without formally involving the PCCSL indicates that the advocacy work done by the Commission has made readers write direct to editors and have their ‘Right of Readers’ published outside the PCCSL process. (c) The PCCSL also observes viola ons of the Code and these are brought to the no ce of the respec ve Editors who respond posi vely by introducing posi ve steps in their newspapers which help reach the objec ve of a professional and responsible media. 02.01. Press Council issues: The re-establishment of the Sri Lanka Press Council was a ma er of concern with the cons tuent partners of the PCCSL, which wrote to the President in July seeking an appointment to discuss the issues connected to it and the dangers media prac oners faced as a result. The President granted an appointment in November, 2015 to a delega on comprising the cons tuent partners and the PCCSL CEO. There was no fi nality reached in the discussions and the President stated that he would fi x another mee ng to discuss the ma er further on a suitable date in 2016. Un l then the status quo remains with the Press Council entertaining complaints and adjudica ng on them. 69 02.02. Gender issues: At the beginning of the year, amidst the predominantly male-dominated editors, there were three women editors and quite a few women sub-editors, news editors, features editors and supplement editors. By the end of the year all editors of mainstream newspapers were male. There is also a high percentage of women leaving the profession for more lucra ve and less taxing employment in other, o en related fi elds. 02.03. PCCSL and RTI The PCCSL con nued to assist the SLPI to promote the Right to Informa on (RTI) through the publica on of a book ‘Right to Informa on: A Guide to Advocates’. The PCCSL in collabora on with the SLPI took the RTI to the provinces. This programme was assisted by Mr. Kamal Liyanaarachchi and Mr. Ameen Hussain. 03.

Sukumar Rockwood Chief Execu ve Offi cer 73 74 Code of Professional Practice of The Editors' Guild of Sri Lanka adopted by the Press Complaints Commission of Sri Lanka 01. PREAMBLE This code of prac ce, which is binding on newspaper publishing companies, editors and their journalists and contributors both in print format and online, aims to ensure that the Sri Lankan press is free and responsible and sensi ve to the needs and expecta ons of its readers, while maintaining the highest standards of journalism. Those standards require newspapers to strive for accuracy and professional integrity, and to uphold the best tradi ons of inves ga ve journalism in the public interest, unfe ered by distor ng commercialism or by improper pressure or by narrow self-interest, which conspires against press freedom. Newspapers and journalists, while free to hold and express their own strong opinions, should give due considera on to the views of others and endeavour to refl ect social responsibility. This code both protects the rights of the individual and upholds the public’s right to know. It should be honoured not only to the le er but in the spirit – neither interpreted so narrowly as to compromise its commitment to respect the rights of the individual nor so broadly as to prevent publica on in the public interest. Editors should co-operate swi ly with the Press Complaints Commission of Sri Lanka (PCCSL) in the resolu on of complaints. Any publica on judged to have breached the Code must print the adjudica on in full and with due prominence, including a headline reference to the PCCSL. 02. ACCURATE REPORTING 2.1: The media must take all reasonable care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distor ng news, photographs and other images. Any signifi cant digital manipula on of images should be labelled. 2.2: Every reasonable a empt should be made by editors and individual journalists to verify the accuracy of reports prior to publica on. Where such verifi ca on is not prac cable, that fact shall be stated in the report. 2.3: Editors and their staff , including external contributors, shall not publish material in such a way as to endorse any ma er which they know or have reason to believe to be false or inaccurate. 2.4: Plagiarism must be avoided. Legi mate use of other people’s work should be duly a ributed. 2.5: The press must dis nguish clearly between comment, conjecture and fact. 03. CORRECTIONS and APOLOGIES 3.1: Where it is recognized by the editor that a report was incorrect in a material respect, it should be corrected promptly and with due prominence and with an apology where appropriate, except where the correc on or apology is against the wishes of the aggrieved party. 04. OPPORTUNITY TO REPLY 4.1: A fair and reasonable opportunity to reply should be given to individuals or organiza ons in respect of factually incorrect statements endangering their reputa on, dignity, honour, feelings, privacy and offi ce. The reply should be confi ned to the complainant’s version of the facts and be no longer than necessary to correct the alleged inaccuracy. 75 4.2: Newspapers or journalists who respond to a complainant’s reply other than to apologize or regret the error, must then be prepared to off er the aggrieved party a fresh opportunity to reply. 05. CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES 5.1: Every journalist has a moral obliga on to protect confi den al sources of informa on, un l that source authorizes otherwise. 06. GENERAL REPORTING and WRITING 6.1: In dealing with social issues of a par cularly shocking or emo onally painful nature – such as atrocity, violence, drug abuse, brutality, sadism, sexual salacity and obscenity – the press should take special care to present facts, opinions, photographs and graphics with due sensi vity and discre on, subject to its duty to publish in the public interest. 6.2: In repor ng accounts of crime or criminal case, publica ons shall not, unless it is both legally permi ed and in the public interest – i. Name vic ms of sex crimes ii. Knowingly name any young person accused of a criminal off ence who is below the age of 16 and who has no previous convic ons iii. Iden fy without consent rela ves of a person accused or convicted of a crime 6.3: A journalist shall not knowingly or wilfully promote communal or religious discord or violence. 6.4: i. The press must avoid prejudicial or pejora ve reference to a person’s race, colour, religion, sex or to any physical or mental illness or disability. ii. It must avoid publishing details of a person’s race, caste, religion, sexual orienta on, physical or mental illness or disability unless these are directly relevant to the story. 6.5: When repor ng suicide, care should be taken not to give excessive detail of the method used. 07. PRIVACY 7.1: The press shall exercise par cular care to respect the private and family lives of individuals, their home, health and correspondence, including digital communica ons. Intrusions on this right to privacy without consent could be jus fi ed only by some over-riding public interest. 7.2: The use of long-lens or other cameras to photograph people without consent on private or public property where there is a reasonable expecta on or privacy is unacceptable, unless in the public interest. 7.3: Par cular care should be taken to ensure that in cases involving grief or shock, inquiries and approaches are handled with sensi vity and discre on. 7.4: Young people should be free to complete their school years without unnecessary intrusion. Publica on of material concerning a child’s private life would be acceptable only if there was some excep onal public interest other than the fame, notoriety or posi on of his or her family or guardian. 7.5: The restric ons on intruding into privacy are par cularly relevant to inquiries about individuals in hospitals or similar ins tu ons, unless it serves the public interest. 76 08. HARASSMENT and SUBTERFUGE 8.1: Journalists, including photo-journalists, must not seek to obtain informa on or pictures through in mida on or harassment or by misrepresenta on or subterfuge. The use of long-lens cameras or listening devices, or intercep on of private or mobile telephone calls, e-mails or messages must also not be used unless this can be jus fi ed in the public interest and the material could not have been obtained by other means. 09. INTEGRITY 9.1: All journalists should act with integrity and honour in the performance of their work. 9.2: Confl icts of interest should be avoided. Journalists should inform their Editor or responsible superior of any possible confl ict, such as close personal connec on with any story in which they are signifi cantly engaged; or acceptance or off ers of gi s that might compromise their integrity. If such confl ict is unavoidable, it should normally be disclosed to the reader. 9.3: i. Even where the law does not prohibit it, journalists must not use for their own profi t fi nancial informa on they receive in advance of its general publica on, nor should they pass such informa on for the profi t of others. ii. They must not write about shares or securi es in whose performance they know that they or their close families have a signifi cant fi nancial interest, without disclosing the interest to the publisher, editor or fi nancial editor. 9.4: Ar cles wri en for payment or other benefi t from a commercial or other non-editorial source, such as in advertorials or promo ons, should be clearly labelled as such. Payment should not be sought or accepted as a reward for including favourable – or excluding hos le – editorial material. INTERPRETATION 1: Public Interest’ means: i. Protec ng democracy, good governance, freedom of expression, human rights and keeping the people informed of the ac ons of their elected representa ves and government. ii.
