His love for journalism made him take up the post of Director of the Sri Lanka Foundation Institute for Journalism.

Victor was also Editor at the Marga Institute and conducted several seminars for the benefit of journalists. He also taught journalism at Aquinas. At the time of his death he was a consultant at the Presidential Media Unit. His demise is a great loss to journalism.
