About

PERAMBARA means ‘dawn’ in Sinhala, one of the two official languages in Sri Lanka, a small island nation located at the tip of India that has been embroiled in conflict for over 25 years.

PERAMBARA will deliver stories that cover a variety of issues including humanitarian and development-related stories. We will report from the perspective of the ordinary people, communicating their views and the challenges they face. We will also be covering stories that are inspiring and that show how all Sri Lankans, despite their cultural background, can contribute to creating a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable Sri Lanka.

PERAMBARA is aimed at those living in Sri Lanka, as well as the Sinhala-speaking audiences living among the diaspora. We aim to be a progressive news and information channel that is driven by a responsibility to the public and is committed to maintaining a high standard in the stories we produce.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you require further information.

PERAMBARA IS SUPPORTED BY INTERNEWS, A ORGANISATION COMMITTED TO EMPOWERING LOCAL MEDIA. Internews works with the government, progressive organisations and individuals to contribute to building a peaceful, democractic and prosperous Sri Lanka.
