The Sunday Times is a popular
Sri Lankan Sunday
broadsheet initially published by now defunct Times Group until the early 1980s, when it was taken over by
Wijeya Newspapers Ltd. The present editor is Sri Lankan journalist and
Attorney-at-Law Sinha Migara Ratnatunga.
The paper features the work of such journalists as
defence writer
Iqbal Athas and Deputy Editor
Ameen Izzadeen.
The paper is cumulatively
centrist: its political columnists are generally more
left of center in their views, and its editorials evidence a right-wing
nationalist bias. It demonstrates the strong
anti-Americanism that is common to most newspapers in Sri Lanka,
left or
right, yet it is generally more pro-business and pro-free market than most others.
The daily counterpart of the Sri Lankan
Sunday Times is the
Daily Mirror, which has the highest circulation among daily English newspapers in Sri Lanka; the
Sunday Times has a circulation lower than the 3 other Sunday newspapers publishing in English in Sri Lanka and competing for highest circulation among themselves, which is considerably lower than those publishing in
Sinhala (and some other languages).
