Sri Lanka’s media role to combat food and medicine shortage

29 May, 2022

The first in a series of trilingual discussions on the topic ‘Sri Lankan mainstream media role to combat food and medicinal shortage,’ will commence on June 9 at 2.00 pm as an online series.

The representation of the series is islandwide and inclusive of print, electronic and visual media organisations and representatives. We call upon the unity of all mass media institutions at this crucial time Sri Lanka is facing.

The conference series will focus on food and medicine security as well as sustainability and the needed awareness and education of the media. This is not an initiative linked to any political organisation or foreign organisation or entity and involves only the effort of Sri Lankan mass media practitioners and citizens with the relevant knowledge.

We call upon all journalists throughout Sri Lanka, functioning in all three official languages of this nation; Sinhala, Tamil and English to be part of this endeavour to turn around any emerging food crisis and make it a foundation for the rise of a nation instead of its destruction.
