Fonterra bribes editors!

 Saturday, 18 October 2014 

Fonterra, the importer of the ‘Anchor’ brand milk powder, which has become controversial once again, took 10 editors of leading newspapers on a trip to New Zealand on the night of October 16.

The group, including ‘Sunday Lankadeepa’ editor Ariyananda Dombagahawatte and ‘Mawbima’ managing editor Thushara Gunaratne, is due to pay a visit to the ‘Anchor’ factory there.

Pursuant to the government’s recent ban on the advertising of ‘Anchor’ milk powder in the media, Fonterra has organized this trip in order to influence the government and the consumers through newspaper editors.
