  • 1 Analysis and Report
    Analysis and Report: Radhika Hettiarachchi Editing: Sanayi Marceline and Deshini Liyanaarachchi Research Team: Saman Gunatilake (Sinhala Print) Subramanium Nayanaganeshan (Tamil Print) Jean Godlieb (English Print) Sisira Kannangara (Sinhala Electronic) Rajaratnam Ramanan (Tamil Electronic) Data Entry: Chanaka Krishantha Filing: Supun Madhusanketha Introduction This media report attempts to illustrate the possible impact of the media on opinion-creation in the Sri Lankan populace at present. The ‘present’ situation in the country is one of deep political and historical importance: The third year anniversary of the ceasefire agreement and the future of the peace process, which includes the possibility of an interim authority are compounded exponentially by the devastating Tsunami which struck Sri Lanka on the 26th of December 2004. Thus the ‘present’ is a precarious time period for the future of Sri Lanka and its peace process, which is now indissolubly linked to the way in which both the Government of Sri Lanka and the LTTE handle the influx of international aid, donor visits, humanitarian relief, rehabilitation, recovery and rebuilding in the wake of a natural disaster. All this, in an environment of unprecedented international concern and scrutiny about the internal workings of Sri Lanka in a ‘post- Tsunami’ situation which has incidentally affected key areas of political importance (North, East and South), let alone the social, humanitarian and economic status of these areas. As such the impact of the mediai in disseminating information, in the least, and making political commentaries, at most, can be crucial when the country is still emerging from over two decades of civil warii. This report is a quantitative (content analysis) and qualitative (textual analysis) examination of how the media in general reports on key issues of interest in the ‘post-Tsunami’ environment during the month of March 2005.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Bruce Fein Answers Sri Lanka-Patton Boggs Monumental Deceits Joseph Goebbels, Adolph Hitler’s propagandist, would have advised lobbyists representing pariah countries like Sri Lank to parrot his tactics for defending Nazi Germany: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” The Sinhalese Buddhist Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) and its lobbying voice in the United States, Patton Boggs L.L.P., bettered the instruction of Goebbels in distributing a White Paper entitled “The Situation Today in Sri Lanka,” which omits any reference to the ongoing Srebrenica-like genocidal Tamil killings, maimings, and concentration camps by the GOSL in the northeast.
