Victor Ivan: This is your conscience speaking! – An open letter to the Ravaya Editor

In my article to Groundviews, I ask what I believe is an extremely pertinent question from my erstwhile colleague, Victor Ivan, the Editor of Ravaya.
I ask him to explain his stance regarding the blanket censorship on news and information on “Mawbima” and Managala Samaraweera. My article uses the philosophy of Bertrand Russell, a favourite of Victor, to attempt to convince him that the current editorial bent of Ravaya is hugely detrimental to the perception of the newspaper as a progressive and alternative media voice.

Uvindu, has Victor responded to this?
Sanjana, think you can publish any response that Ravaya publishes here?
Victor Ivan has published a reply to this in Ravaya newspaper. Since it has no online version, I think groundviews should reproduce it here and give the same publicity and exposure given to Uvindu’s article.
My previous comments didn’t appear here. I sincerely hope there’s no censorship imposed on this matter.
Anandawardhana,
If Victor Ivan or Ravaya email me the article, I will gladly post it on Groundviews.
