Knowingly or unknowingly media has directly influenced on intensification of ethnic conflict which was the greatest calamity in the country inherited to a more than three decades history. At the end of 1970th decade, the newspaper became as the only media which is more familiar and which can heavily influence on public. The incident that the brutal murder of 13 military officers becoming victims of terrorists on 23rd of 1983 can be identified as a decisive turning point within the ethnic conflict among Sinhalese and Tamils. The local newspaper reporting on this case guided to an ethnical distance among Sinhalese and Tamils. It is expected from this investigation, to identify the newspaper reporting on the case of assassination of 13 military officers on 23rd of July 1983 and to investigate whether that the government and privet newspaper media installations manipulated their own media reporting accordingly to professional ethics and media principles. The data has investigative presented based on primary and secondary data under the case study method related with selected newspapers published on July of 1983, It will be surely proven that journalists did not acted to guide the folk consciousness as to grow ethnical cordiality and mutual trust.

  • 29 Complaints Against Newspapers
    29 complaints against newspapers PCCS, Colombo, 07.06.2007 The Press Complaints Commission of Sri Lanka had received 29 complaints against newspapers during the first quarter of this year of which the commission had dealt with. A statement by the commission on its activities is as follows: The Press Complaints Commission of Sri Lanka (PCCSL) was established three and a half years ago (Oct. 2003) by the media to resolve disputes between the press, and the public speedily and cost-effectively, for both, the press and the public, outside the statutory Press Council and the regular courts system. We hope that the PCCSL has made things easier for editors and journalists to dispose of public complaints on matters published in your newspapers, and at no costs incurred in the retention of lawyers etc. In a bid to have more transparency in the work of the Dispute Resolution Council of the PCCSL, the Commission decided to publish the records of the complaints it has received.

  • A Case Study of Sri Lankan Media
    C olonials, bourgeoisies and media dynasties: A case study of Sri Lankan media. Abstract: Despite enjoying nearly two centuries of news media, Sri Lanka has been slow to adopt western liberalist concepts of free media, and the print medium which has been the dominant format of news has remained largely in the hands of a select few – essentially three major newspaper groups related to each other by blood or marriage. However the arrival of television and the change in electronic media ownership laws have enabled a number of ‘independent’ actors to enter the Sri Lankan media scene. The newcomers have thus been able to challenge the traditional and incestuous bourgeois hold on media control and agenda setting. This paper outlines the development of news media in Sri Lanka, and attempts to trace the changes in the media ownership and audience. It follows the development of media from the establishment of the first state-sanctioned newspaper to the budding FM radio stations that appear to have achieved the seemingly impossible – namely snatching media control from the Wijewardene, Senanayake, Jayawardene, Wickremasinghe, Bandaranaike bourgeoisie family nexus. Linda Brady Central Queensland University ejournalist.au.com©2005 Central Queensland University 1 Introduction: Media as an imprint on the tapestry of Ceylonese political evolution. The former British colony of Ceylon has a long history of media, dating back to the publication of the first Dutch Prayer Book in 1737 - under the patronage of Ceylon’s Dutch governor Gustaaf Willem Baron van Imhoff (1736-39), and the advent of the ‘newspaper’ by the British in 1833. By the 1920’s the island nation was finding strength as a pioneer in Asian radio but subsequently became a relative latecomer to television by the time it was introduced to the island in the late1970’s.

    Hate incidents against Muslims: January - May 2014 (Threats, attempts to attack, attacks, harassment, inciting, warning, violence, provocation, etc. against Muslims) 1. January 2, 2014 - Thalgaswala, Galle District: The beef stall at Thalgaswala Weekly Fair closes down. The principal of Nagoda Sri Sunnanda Vidyalaya and the Viharadipathi (chief monk) of the Thalgaswala Buddhist Centre Ven. Welwea Sujaatha were instrumental in executing this. He obtained the tender bid for 325,000 at the Pradeshiya Sabha call for tenders. Subsequently they cleansed the beef stall with milk and with the Blessings of the Maha Sangha closed down the beef stall‟s business on January 1st. According to the Nagoda Pradeshiya Sabha President there are about 500 consumers in this area. He said that the large companies are supplying packetted frozen meat to the shops in the area; by closing down the beef stall it is not going to reduce the consumption of meat in the area.

  • Sinhala Language Corpora and Stopwords from a Decade of Sri Lankan Facebook
    Sinhala Language Corpora and Stopwords from a Decade of Sri Lankan Facebook Yudhanjaya Wijeratne†, Nisansa de Silva‡ † LIRNEasia, 12 Balcombe Place, Colombo, Sri Lanka ([email protected]) ‡ University of Oregon, 1585 E 13th Ave, Eugene, OR 97403, United States ([email protected]) LIRNEasia is a pro-poor, pro-market think tank whose mis- sion is catalyzing policy change through research to improve people’s lives in the emerging Asia Pacific by facilitating their use of hard and soft infrastructures through the use of knowledge, information and technology. This work was carried out with the aid of a grant from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Ottawa, Canada. 1 Abstract This paper presents two colloquial Sinhala language corpora from the language efforts of the Data, Analysis and Policy team of LIRNEasia, as well as a list of algorithmically derived stopwords. The larger of the two corpora spans 2010 to 2020 and contains 28,825,820 to 29,549,672 words of multilingual text posted by 533 Sri Lankan Facebook pages, including politics, media, celebrities, and other categories; the smaller corpus amounts to 5,402,76 words of only Sinhala text extracted from the larger. Both corpora have markers for their date of creation, page of origin, and content type. Introduction ‘The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.’ – Ludwig Wittgenstein Sinhala, as with many other languages in the Global South, currently suffers from a phenomenon know as resource poverty [1]. To wit, many of the fundamental tools that are required for easy and efficient natural language analysis are unavailable; many of the more computational components taken for granted in languages like English are either as yet unbuilt, in a nascent stage, and in other cases, lost or retained among select institutions [2].
