Abstract

On 10 August 2023, Sinhala newspapers reported the murder of a former police officer who was tied to a tree and beaten to death. Aruna used insensitive and sensationalised language in its headline to describe the incident. In contrast, Mawbima, Dinamina, and Lankadeepa reported the event neutrally, without sensationalising or disrespecting the murder victim. The post juxtaposes all the headlines, inviting readers to assess which reporting approach they find most appropriate.
