Meta Data

Ceylon Newspapers (Pvt) Limited does not have an official website. Additionally, the official websites of the company's newspapers do not provide any details about the company's founder, board of directors or its organisational structure. As such, the MOM research team referenced several secondary sources as well as the annual returns available at the Department of Registrar of Companies to ascertain information on the shareholders and board of directors. The LinkedIn profile of Ceylon Newspapers (Pvt) Limited was cited to establish the company's founding year. While the Media Ownership Monitor research team reached out to Ceylon Newspapers (Pvt) Limited by formally requesting for the company’s information on 20 July 2018, the company did not respond to the aforementioned request. Readership data was obtained from the Kantar Lanka Market Research Bureau (LMRB) for the year 2017.
