ABOUT US

www.independent.lk is the on-line portal of the Ceylon Independent Newspaper – Sri Lanka’s first free-of-charge weekend newspaper.
The Ceylon Independent is a victim of the global pandemic, Covid-19. We were forced to stop publication when anchor advertisers pulled out their contracts with the downturn in business.
We remain positive that a return to the printed version will restart soon.
In the meantime our web site provides opportunities for budding journalists, commentators of politics, the environment and the public interest especially in terms of corruption and the impact on the people of the country. We welcome articles from everyone – experience, inexperienced – whoever. The basic premise must be that what you supply is verifiable and factual. Send to ceylonindy@protonmail.com
Please consider sponsoring / financially supporting this space in order that we continue to uphold the necessity for fine, independent journalism. Sponsorship and donations may be made in full confidence if required.
