Country: Sri Lanka
Type: Institution
Description: The PCCSL continues to resolve disputes between the print media and the public; and to advocate for more responsible – ethical journalism. In its efforts to improve confidence and awareness of stakeholders about the PCCSL as well as the Code of Ethics it adopts (the Code of Professional Practice of The Editors’ Guild of Sri Lanka), the PCCSL conducts networking with key civil society organizations and has expanded its membership. Given the fact that there is strong support for a self-regulatory body in Sri Lanka, the PCCSL also plans to explore possibilities of opening up for third-party complaints, as well as initiating complaints on its own. The SLCJ conducts three core programmes: the one-year diploma course for new entrants in journalism, the mid-career programme for working journalists and the training programme for regional correspondents. This involves curriculum development, training of staff and investment in technology.
