ITN RAJAPAKSA-FAMILY CHANNEL DEVIATES SLIGHTLY

After Namal’s confession about ITN as family channel, family news is telecast, alternatively- one after another common news item:

In Parliament Namal Rajapaksa advised the Chairmen of state owned ITN and not to make ITN the family channel. Instead to telecast news also about developments and their draw backs. As an example he said that while listening to ITN news with the entire family ,the first news was about the President, the second about the Speaker, Chamel, the third was about Basil and then about Gotaghaya Rajapaksa. For sports news it was all about Namal and his brother’s rugby.
After his statement the authorities of the ITN had made some changes by showing an alternate general news item by showing the news of the parties mainly in the main opposition. That is also only 2-3 days.They had reverted to the earlier pattern once more after 4 days.The news line up after 4 days was as follows:
1st news:President opens kerawalapitiya gas factory:
2nd news:Higher Education Commission report:
3rd news : President attends World’s tourists day:
4th news: About the conflict of the UNP leader:
5th news: Basil attends Handloom exhibition:
6th news: Eppawela tragedies:
7th news: keheliya attends ‘Jayakeheliya’ Foundation ceremony:
8th news: crime in the Badulla postal train:
Sports news: The Colombo night race organised by the ’Tharunayata Hetak’ organisation:

When this news bulletin is carefully scrutinized it is prominently seen that the ITN Rajapaksa family channel has slightly changed but continues to dominate by showing news pertaining to the Rajapaksa family.
