The Colombo Journal was a short-lived English-language bi-weekly newspaper in Ceylon. The newspaper started on 1 January 1832 with George Lee as editor.[1][2] George Lee was the Superintendent of the Government Press and later Postmaster General.[3] The newspaper had the support of the government and Governor Robert Wilmot-Horton.[3][4] Apart from Horton and Lee other senior government officials who wrote for the newspaper included the governor's private secretary Henry Tufnell and George Turnour.[5] Criticism of the British government led to the newspaper being closed by the Colonial Office on 31 December 1833.[2][6]
