Launched in 2014, Port City Colombo is arguably the most contentious and ambitious development project in Sri Lanka’s post-independence history of over 75 years as well as the Port City is the single largest foreign investment in Sri Lanka’s history. It is being developed by CHEC Port City Colombo Pvt. Ltd. (CPCC) with the support of the Government of Sri Lanka under the BRI. In the BRI, Sri Lanka occupies a more important position due to its positioning in the middle of the Maritime Silk Road connecting the East-West continents. “The Port City Colombo” project was launched in 2014 and during the last 9 years it has passed many milestones. This project suffered a severe setback for a while due to the suspension of its operations caused by Sri Lankan political issues in March 2015, but it recommenced its operations in September 2016. The purpose of this research is to study how to report on “the Port City Colombo” in the Sri Lankan newspapers. In this case, the nature of how to report events of Colombo Port City on newspapers feature articles was studied. Four Sinhala newspapers and a Tamil and English newspapers were selected out of those having a top-level of rating. During the period from September 17, 2014, when the project started to the end of the year 2022, the content of features of 20 days was selected under the purposive sampling method, and framing theory was used for the analysis. The conclusion is that government media creates a positive image of the port city compared to the privately owned Media and English and Tamil Newspapers portray a positive frame compared to Sinhala Newspapers.
