    March 05, 2020

    The Elections Commission Chairman Mahinda Deshapriya has decided to appoint two permanent representative committees to make decisions on the activities of the media during the general election.

    He said one committee would be appointed to monitor the print media while the other committee would monitor the electronic media. He said this during the meeting held between
    the Election Commission Chairman and the heads of the electronic media at the Election Commission Auditorium today.

    The members of these committees would include representatives of the print and electronic media, the Government News Director and an official from the Telecommunication
    Regulatory Commission (TRC).

     These committees are required to operate under the regulations and advise of the Election Commission and based on the recommendations of the committees the Election
    Commission would take appropriate decisions, Mahinda Deshapriya said.

    The Election Commission Chairman said that these committees would look into the complaints received regarding the wrong information published by the media and they would
    also monitor the media to ensure that they follow the required media guidelines.
