Editors of the daily and Sunday Lakbima newspapers have received the green light to carry articles critical of the government following a decision by the Sumathi Publishers management board to remove the earlier censorship on carrying articles against the government in its newspapers, sources said.
Sources added that although the decision was said to be based on trying to improve the circulation of the newspaper that has seen a decline, the real reason was the President continuing to ignore the Managing Director of Sumathi Publishers and UPFA Western Provincial Councilor, Thilanga Sumathipala.
The financial crisis experienced by the company due to the decline in newspaper circulation has resulted in a delay in paying staff salaries.
