This happens to all types of news broadcast, that is why they call it 'Breaking News' where they report what has happened. After that they let you know what the cause was. Common sense.

lolz.. media censorship with a different name..
Just Another Citizen Tuesday, 13 March 2012 02:25 AM
So if there is no censorship, then there is no threat. They should subscribe too then they can find out whats happening.

This move is good. Last 11th we got a SMS regarding 3 Amy bodies were found in Kilinochchi. After 1 minutes we got another SMS saying that's a personal dispute.
At that time every body was panic thinking that the LTTE killing squids has started their work again.
So please dont put every thing to politics.

Move to protect SL police from been exposed..
Rosh Monday, 12 March 2012 05:22 PM
If his sole purpose of applying such is to just get to know what the news alert is, then ask him to subscribe to those news providers, and he too will be informed vis SMS alerts. This act is fishy. May be after those white van buggers got caught and covert operations surfaced...

In case Tsunami is going to hit us, we may get the alert once the devastation is done. Getting approval before sending an alert is called media freedom in SL. God bless us :)
Sentoran Monday, 12 March 2012 05:16 PM
In case tsunami is hitting us we may get the alert once the devastation is done. You require approval for media freedom?? Kidding me !!
Izmy Monday, 12 March 2012 04:52 PM
Yes there no censorship in this wonder of Asia because most medias know the consequences that they will face if the truth is publised.Even the white van incident at Kolonnawa only one tv channel had the guts to give the story ,and some call them as News welin first were dumb.
