The Sunday Times (Sri Lanka)

The Sunday Times (Sri Lanka)

"The Sunday Times" is a popular Sri Lankan Sunday paper.

Sunday Times was initially published by now defunct Times Group until the early 1980s. The present owner of Sunday Times is Wijeya Publishing Group. The present editor of Sunday Times is the veteran journalist cum Attorney-at-Law Sinha Migara Ratnatunga. The paper boasts such experienced journalists like defence editor Iqbal Athas, Deputy Editor Ameen Izzadeen and (until his appointment as editor of the rival Sunday Observer), political columnist Rajpal Abeynayake.

While the Sunday Times is usually in the center of the political spectrum, its editorials show a right-wing nationalist bias, while its political columnists are generally more left of center in their views, though with the strong anti-Americanism that is common to most newspapers of Sri Lanka, left or right. However it is generally more pro-business and pro-free market than most others.

The Sunday Times is perhaps the best designed broadsheet in Sri Lanka. Its circulation among English-language newspapers in the country is second only to the state-owned Sunday Observer.

The Sunday Times' daily counterpart is the Daily Mirror.
