Canadian PM meets 'The Sri Lankan Anchorman' TORONTO: Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin took time off from his campaign trail to meet with the ethnic press in Toronto this week. And on one such stop, he met with Sri Lanka's, Dirk Tissera, Editor of The Sri Lankan Anchorman. Tissera, a veteran journalist in news and sports was a reporter in Sri Lanka in the early 1980s (he worked at the Times of Ceylon/Daily Mirror, Weekend/Sun and the new Sunday Times, also working at SLBC sports special) migrated to Canada in 1997 with his Indian-born wife Michelle and two kids Tammy 11 and Kurt 9 from the Middle East where he served for a decade. The Sri Lankan Anchorman is a well designed and newsworthy 56-page tabloid managed by Tissera and his wife exclusively for the Lankan community in the Greater Toronto Area. "Now Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese and even the Canadians have begun to read the tabloid," Tissera said. The paper is delivered to all Lankan outlets, be it grocery stores, cinema halls, travel agencies, restaurants, temples (Buddhist and Hindu), supermarkets, bakeries and doctors offices. With a Sri Lankan population of more than 300,000 in Toronto, The Anchorman competes with and is rated as one of the very best ethnic tabloids in Canada, especially for its design and news content. The paper has eight pages of colour, news, sports, features and a kids corner. And also an experienced team of reporters. |
