The Center for Media Research (CMR) of Sri Palee Campus, University of Colombo will develop its own characterized media research school dominating the media industry. The academic discipline of the School of Mass Media and the school of Performing arts of Sri Palee campus has been developed into towering figures in the modern period in Sri Lanka. Now these have been organized into a leading independent academic discipline renowned for its work in the field of education over a decade. |

We
recognize that we are now living in a multi-centered media world
in which the global balance is changing rapidly. We are therefore
committed to addressing theoretically and empirically the Eurocentrism
which still pervades so much the discussions of the non-Western
world. To appreciate the richness, dynamism and complexity of media
in regions like Asia, the Middle East and Africa one requires specialist
knowledge of these cultures, societies, political economies and
their inter-relations, which is our concern. So in recent years,
Sri Palee Campus has been a wider growing interest in the potential
of media research and social research. We intend to identify key
conceptual and practical trajectories in the field, with particular
reference to its professionalization, and also the key understandings,
issues and differences in vision and shape of the field of research.
CMR innovation brings together many disciplines and technical competencies
too. CMR will be unique in this respect in that its research will
span everything from basic natural sciences, mechanical and electrical
engineering through to social sciences. |

Center for Media Research of Sri Palee Campus is concerned with
the impact of media on contemporary society and to seek the traditions
to promote research, teaching, communal events and advanced studies
in media and media-related fields and build customs for the media
to serve better the communal interest and the development policies
at the national and international level. It will attempt strongly
with universities, research institutions, and media organizations
to produce graduates, academics and other professionals who will
then have practical skills and academic foundations to cater to
the demands of the media industry in a globalizing era and of novel
technological advances. The Center will also be a forum for discussions
on media development and serve as a medium for dissemination of
information and sharing of research findings. At the same time it
