Ceylon Morning Leader (original) (raw)

The Ceylon Morning Leader was an English language daily newspaper in Ceylon. In 1907 the De Soysa family bought the proprietary rights of the defunct Ceylon Standard and started publishing the Ceylon Morning Leader. Ownership of the newspaper later passed to a syndicate comprising W. A. de Silva, C. E. A. Dias, Charles Peiris and James Peiris. De Silva later became the sole owner. Newspaper baron D. R. Wijewardena bought the Ceylon Independent and forced the Ceylon Morning Leader out of business in 1932.
