Only Silver Lining-The Weekly Paper Aniddha or Tomorrow

Only Silver lining in the political arena is the emergence of the weekly Sinhala Paper-Aniddha.

or “Tomorrow”.

Thanks to Victor Ivan for not giving these writers who started Aniddha-proper place or space in Ravaya weekly.

Ravaya started with lot of potential and Ma Ra Regime tried to buy (in other words to shut it) it through Milinda Moragoda.

Ravaya was not running at break even point economically, then.

People who were starved of alternative political views got together to help (on Ravaya's request) it by contributing money.

It survived but Victor for some hegemonic reasons did not look after the views of  the younger generation and many felt fault with Victor and gave up journalism, temporarily.

There was no freedom of expression or rather frustration at Ravaya (editorial level sanctions and more concerned with business model)

These journalists have emerged with a weekly paper called Aniddha.

It is now outperforming Ravaya politically and my belief is, it is selling better than Ravaya.

“Good on them” and I hope Aniddha will look after its economic aspects (it is not an easy task) well until the next round of elections.

We need few balanced journalists (not political stooges) to charter the ordinary public (Sinhala and Tamil especially) through the troubled waters.

Already divisive and racist forces are blazing for the next round (to hoodwink the masses). 

Beware!

Read Aniddha and help it (I have no connection with it and still keeping my fiercely independent views on "World Politics".

Freedom Expression is the Driving Force.

I have inadvertently given some prominence to Ravaya.

Please excuse me, the Aniddha loyalists.
