    Congratulations team.

    The Daily Mirror is very informative and largely factual and objective in its reporting! As a German Buddhist who has visited Sri Lanka more than fifty times and loves the country, its culture and people, I am a regular reader of your newspaper. I congratulate the editor and the team of journalists and creators of the newspaper on the well-deserved recognition and award !!!

    Congratulations Well done DMTeam

    Most of the news readers go through comments but only few responding by writing comments, as earlier,if you add.

    Karl Tuesday, 13 December 2022 09:50 PM

    Congratulations!!

    Way to Go! Tuesday, 13 December 2022 10:18 PM

    Congratulations Daily Mirror.

    Buhahahhaa. Worst unprofessional writing, outdated stories sometimes stays on top for days even after there has been significant updates to the topic, terrible layout with ad placements all over the place, the approval system on comments is selective, slow and does not support free expression. I really wonder how they won this. And I bet this comment will not even be published, but and if they do, it will be out of spite.

    Congratulations Daily Mirror. I hope other newspapers too will follow this newspaper by allowing readers to make comments on news items.

    Rip Winkle Wednesday, 14 December 2022 05:15 AM

    Unbelievable, taking into consideration the poor English found in almost every article! Congratulations, anyway.

    Kushem Wednesday, 14 December 2022 05:31 AM

    Our congratulations DM,why don’t you add the facility for readers to respond to comments on news

    Tikiri Gunawardena Wednesday, 14 December 2022 06:24 AM

    Congratulations. Please make the comments heard possible by a wider community than a few privileged people (I don't need to name them). Otherwise you will be reduced to the level of the politicians one day. (I don't expect this to be posted) TPJ

    Well deserved! Congratulations ! Keep your balace updates up!

    Denis Bate Wednesday, 14 December 2022 01:36 PM

    I. living in England as a British Citizen, with strong connections to some Sri Lankan friends, are happy for the award, but I would respectfully advise that every day I open my Daily Mirror a window comes up advising that the Dail Mirror online is not a secure site. I ignore this but am worried I could be hacked because of this. I am an avert reader of the Daily Mirror and would hate losing the privilege.

    LankanLover Tuesday, 21 February 2023 12:05 PM

    As a regular reader from abroad, Thank you for all your efforts on bringing the right news on time for your readers, Congratulations, well deserved.

    congratulatiaons. i am indian, but studied in sri lanka and i was following daily mirror for a long time. reliability is the priority i find in this newsper . keep it up.

    Congratulations to all the TEAM, keep up the good work. I check out your paper several times a day for the latest breaking news, informing all Sri Lankans on the situation back home. I find way too many adds repeatedly popping up, in spite of the fact that I repeatedly click off and state " NOT INTERESTED". I read on, but I am sure there are some readers who get put off with these repeated adds, isn't there a way where most of these adds could be only shown on devices within the Country?. I doubt overseas viewers are least interested considering they do not live in the Country and just logging on to get the daily news.
