  • State Electronic Media During the Parliamentary Elections of October 2000
    REPORT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE NON- STATE ELECTRONIC MEDIA DURING THE PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS OF OCTOBER 2000 Preface This Report on the Performance of the Non- State Electronic Media During the Parliamentary Elections of October 2000 is the counterpart of the Report by INFORM on The Publicly Funded Electronic Media. The Reports were prepared in collaboration with Article 19 and with the generous assistance of NORAD, The Asia Foundation and the Royal Netherlands Embassy. The issue of media performance at the time of elections is an extremely pertinent one for a variety of reasons. Of especial importance is the division within Sri Lanka between state and non-state media and the impact this has on the performance of the media during election time. Issues of agenda setting, partisan bias and stereotype invariably surface and in turn confirm that partisan allegiance characterizes media in Sri Lankan irrespective of type of ownership and management. Consequently, the role of the media in helping citizens to make informed choices at elections is seriously diminished and the need for greater professionalism in the media reinforced. This Report highlights these issues through an analysis of election reportage. It concludes with a set of recommendations which have been classified into the mandatory and the voluntary. CPA believes that the issue of media reportage at election times is integral to strengthening the institutions of a functioning democracy in Sri Lanka and of fundamental importance in enhancing the contribution of civil society to better governance. This Report, its conclusions and recommendations are presented in this spirit and in the hope that electronic media reportage at election time can develop in the near future, into an example of media best practice in Sri Lanka.

    Country Advice Sri Lanka Sri Lanka – LKA37855 – UNP – Elections – Shiral Laktilleke 10 January 2011 1. I have read Sri Lanka – LKA37498 – United National Party – of 21 October 2010. Can you please advise whether, other than the above information, there have been any further reports of the targeting of UNP members and supporters by the current Sri Lankan government and security forces in 2010? RRT Country Advice LKA37498 referred to above is attached.1 Further to the information mentioned above, a report dated 8 December 2010 refers to government parliamentarians trying to manhandle UNP MP Jayalath Jayawardena in the parliamentary chamber during the previous week.2 Several government MPs were reported to have “accused Dr. Jayawardene of inciting diaspora and allegedly attempted to manhandle him. Government MPs were heard calling the UNP MP a „traitor,‟ „Tiger‟ and „murderer.‟” On 7 December 2010, a resolution signed by 78 ruling United People‟s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) parliamentarians which requested parliament to appoint a select committee to investigate Jayawardane‟s conduct was handed to the Speaker.3 The government said Jayawardane helped to organise protests against Sri Lanka‟s President Rajapaksa in Britain, which Jayawardane has denied. The Oxford Union had cancelled a planned speech by Mr Rajapaksa, saying large demonstrations planned against him would have posed security problems.4 The government also planned to bring a no-confidence motion against the deputy leader of the UNP, Karu Jayasuriya, after he made a “statement that alleged war crimes in the country should be probed.”5 In October 2010, the UNP claimed that UNP MP Ranjan Ramanayake had been arrested “on false and fabricated charges” after he was granted bail “on charges of having fraudulently obtained Rs.1,000,000 from a female teacher on the promise of marrying her.” UNP deputy leader Karu Jayasuriya alleged that there was no evidence of cheating in Mr.
