LankaNewz is an independent English-language news desk covering Sri Lanka. We monitor the country's leading newsrooms every hour — from Ada Derana and Daily Mirror to Lankadeepa and NewsFirst — and publish original English-language coverage with full source attribution.
Our approach
Every story on LankaNewz is cross-referenced against multiple newsrooms. We believe credibility comes from transparency: you can see exactly where each story comes from, how many outlets reported it, and follow the links to the original reporting.
Credibility badges
Articles on LankaNewz display credibility indicators based on the number of verified newsrooms that independently reported the same story:
- Multi-source — Reported by 3 or more verified newsrooms
- Corroborated — Confirmed by 2 verified newsrooms
- Stories from a single source carry no badge
Verified sources
We maintain a list of established Sri Lankan and international newsrooms whose reporting we consider verified. These include:
- Ada Derana
- Daily Mirror
- NewsFirst
- Daily News
- Lankadeepa
- Divaina
- News.lk (Government)
- EconomyNext
- Colombo Gazette
- Hiru News
- BBC
- Reuters

Sources not on this list are still linked but do not contribute to credibility scores.
