November 11, Colombo (LNW): The prestigious Presidential Media Awards 2025 will take place this afternoon (11) at 3.00 p.m. at the Nelum Pokuna Theatre in Colombo, celebrating excellence and integrity within Sri Lanka’s media industry.
Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya will grace the occasion as the Chief Guest at the event, which seeks to acknowledge journalists and media professionals who have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to responsible, ethical, and socially conscious reporting.
Awards will be presented across a range of categories, recognising excellence in television, radio, print, online platforms, media research, and school media units. Organisers say the ceremony reflects the evolving role of journalism in shaping informed public dialogue and strengthening democratic values.
A highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the Madhyabhimani (Media Excellence) Award — a rare lifetime accolade given only once to an individual — to six veteran media figures for their long-standing contributions and outstanding service to the field.
The recipients will also receive special financial grants in recognition of their dedication to advancing the profession.
