Recognising and celebrating journalism that strives for excellence is vital to strengthening the profession in Sri Lanka. To this end, the Editors’ Guild of Sri Lanka, together with the Sri Lanka Press Institute and its affiliated unions—the Newspaper Society of Sri Lanka, the Free Media Movement, and the Sri Lanka Working Journalists’ Association—organises an annual awards ceremony to honour achievements in the print media.
The Journalism Awards for Excellence 2024 took place on Tuesday at the Mount Lavinia Hotel, with former Justice Ministry Secretary Nihal Jayawickrema serving as chief guest. As in previous years, five senior journalists were presented with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.
