Answering the requests of International NGOs, humanitarian aid organizations and international observers present in Sri Lanka, to provide more accurate information on the local reality, the Centre for Policy Alternatives, launched the visionary groundviews.lk website. Groundviews features content from respected civil society activists, bloggers, academics and professional journalists, all in support of peace, reconciliation, good governance and democracy.

With minimal editorial moderation, the website serves as a valuable repository for alternative perspectives on conflict and peace in Sri Lanka. Unlike traditional media channels, citizen journalism cannot be easily censored, empowering citizens to safeguard democracy and good governance.

The portal is Sri Lanka's first news website operating in all three official languages, Sinhala, Tamil and English. This trilingual platform creates new mechanisms to hold politicians responsible for their deeds and misdeeds, allowing citizens to expose police corruption and human rights violations.
