Welcome to the Sri Lanka Development Journalist Forum

Sri Lanka Development Journalist Forum (SDJF) is the national platform and the representative body for journalists who believe that community empowerment and positive social changes can be achieved through strategic use of media; both community based and mainstream. SDJF deeply concentrates on the gap between media and community.

At SDJF, we facilitate quality improvement of  media outputs to uplift the life standards of the disadvantaged. We encourage a media culture in which media could lead and facilitate the community towards development and empowerment. Community media, citizen journalism, training & research, monitoring & evaluation, and broadcasting for development are the core programme components, which SDJF has structured to attain its goals.
