Overview
Lakbima News was a weekly English-language newspaper in Sri Lanka. It was established in 2007 and was published on Sundays by Sumathi Newspapers (Pvt) Ltd. The title was positioned within the Lakbima newspaper family and operated as a sister publication to Lakbima, giving the publisher an English-language offering alongside its other newspaper properties. Its editorial product was a periodic newspaper rather than a daily title, with Sunday publication forming the central part of its distribution schedule. Publicly available reference material identifies the newspaper, its language, publisher, launch year, weekly frequency, and relationship to Lakbima, but provides limited information about its editors, circulation, ownership structure, headquarters, financial performance, or current publication status. The available description uses the newspaper in the past tense, while the supplied official website is retained as the brand's reference URL; therefore, its present operating status cannot be confirmed from the available material.
