| dc.description.abstract | On December 19, 2023, Dinamina, Lankadeepa and Aruna newspapers reported an investigation incident leading to the arrest of a lecturer for brutally torturing a foster girl. The headline of the Dinamina news story used the derogatory term " (රෝද පුටුවෙන් යන
සරසවි ඇදුරාගෙන්)" (from the wheelchair-bound Sarasawi Aduragen). The media is advised to refrain from using such derogatory terms, especially in a negative context, not relevant to the news. However, adhering to media ethics, Aruna and Lankadeepa newspapers reported the same news without mentioning the lecturer's disability. | en_US |
