  • 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.

    THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES & SOCIAL STUDIES ISSN 2321 - 9203 www.theijhss.com THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES & SOCIAL STUDIES An Explanatory Analysis on Television YouTube Industry in Sri Lanka Chulan Lasantha K. Nawarathna Senior Lecturer, Department of Social Statistic, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka Neranja Bandara Senior Lecturer, Department of Sinhala and Mass Communication, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka Aruna Walpola Senior Lecturer, Department of Philosophy and Psychology, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka Abstract: Social media creates an entirely different platform in the media industry. YouTube is the leading user-driven video content provider in social media, and it expands the size of viewers. Conventional television stations entered YouTube to telecast programs live and by upload in the last decade. So many stakeholders, like content creators and advertisers, engaged in the YouTube industry for different benefits. Television stations of Sri Lanka entered the YouTube platform in 2011. More than twenty Sri Lankan television stations are competitively engaged in the YouTube industry to expand their fanbase and generate new income flows. Studies on the industry are helpful to industry partners and other parties of the society. We investigate the top six television channels of Sri Lanka to explore the viewers, subscribers, expected income, and content of the programs. According to the findings, TV Derana shows the highest performance in the YouTube industry of Sri Lanka. ITN Sri Lanka shows fast growth. There is a vast gap between current performances and available opportunities in the industry. We make some recommendations to the management of television stations to gain more from this platform creatively.

  • Media in Promoting Small Business in Sri Lanka, by AC Nielsen, February 2006
    Enter-Growth/Final Report Feb 2006 Media in Promoting Small Business in Sri Lanka The Enterprise for Pro-poor Growth - Enter-Growth project Enter - Growth International Labour Organization Final Report February 2006 i Enter-Growth/Final Report Feb 2006 About Enter-Growth Enterprise for Pro-poor Growth, or Enter-Growth for short, is a project of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), and the Ministry of Investment and Enterprise Development. Its goal is to contribute to pro-poor economic growth and quality employment for women and men, through an integrated programme for development of micro and small enterprises. The project design is based on extensive consultations with provincial and district stakeholders from the Government, the private sector – micro and small enterprises in particular -, and NGOs. It seeks to address issues that relate to: • The market access of micro and small enterprises; • The policy and regulatory environment for micro and small enterprise growth; • Enterprise culture – the way enterprise is perceived and valued in society. The project’s most basic assumption is that none of the constraints in these areas can be addressed without dialogue with and between the stakeholders in the districts, and that they need to take the lead in finding and implementing solutions. Enter-Growth’s role is that of a facilitator in this process. After a first project concept in 2003, and a final document in 2004, the project started in June 2005, for a period of 3 years. It has a head office in Colombo, and offices in each of the four Districts covered.
