The Hon. (Prof.) Sena Nanayakkara
Hon. (Prof.) Sena Nanayakkara expressed satisfaction with the Minister’s response and proposed that media reform should go beyond legislation to include awareness and changes in attitudes. He suggested convening a research-based, ethical and democratic media convocation with the consensus of media institutions and participation from all parties and social, economic, cultural and political sectors, and asked whether the Minister would consider it.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Minister, I am satisfied. My second supplementary is a proposal rather than a question. Beyond laws, awareness and attitudinal processes matter. After research-based inquiry, with the participation and consensus of all media, we should convene a new ethical and democratic media convocation. With participation across parties and social, economic, cultural and political spheres, would you consider such a convocation?
