  • A Qualitative Analysis of Self-Harm and Suicide in Sri Lankan Printed Newspapers
    Research Trends A Qualitative Analysis of Self-Harm and Suicide in Sri Lankan Printed Newspapers Jane Brandt Sørensen1 , Melissa Pearson2, Gregory Armstrong3, Martin Wolf Andersen1, Manjula Weerasinghe4, Keith Hawton5, and Flemming Konradsen1 1Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen, Denmark 2School of Clinical Sciences and Community Health, The University of Edinburgh, UK 3Nossal Institute for Global Health, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, University of Melbourne, Australia 4Faculty of Medicine and Allied Sciences, Rajarata University of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka 5Centre for Suicide Research, University of Oxford, UK Abstract. Background: Media reporting may influence suicidal behavior. In-depth exploration of how self-harm and suicide are portrayed in newspaper articles in a middle-income country such as Sri Lanka is lacking. Aims: We aimed to explore how self-harm and suicide are portrayed in Sri Lankan printed newspapers. Method: Seven English- and Sinhala-language Sri Lankan newspapers were screened for articles reporting on self-harm and suicide (December 1, 2014 to January 31, 2015). A thematic analysis was conducted. Results: In the 78 articles identified for analysis, certain aspects were overemphasized (inappropriate behavior) and others underemphasized (alcohol and complexities of self-harm). Explanations of self-harm were one-sided and a suicide prevention narrative was lacking. Limitations: Another time-frame and inclusion of Tamil newspapers as well as social media and online publications would provide additional understanding. Conclusion: The study found an indication of simplistic reporting. Greater focus on prevention and a nuanced portrayal of self-harm could reduce stigma and imitative behavior. Keywords: self-harm, suicide, media, Sri Lanka, thematic analysis Self-harm and suicide constitute a significant global pub- rates peaked in the 1990s and have since declined (Knipe, lic health problem (World Health Organization [WHO], Chang, et al., 2017).

  • 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.
