Frederica Jansz is a Sri Lankan journalist and former editor of The Sunday Leader.
During her time at The Sunday Leader, she was highly critical of Sri Lanka's government. Jansz became editor of the paper after her predecessor Lasantha Wickrematunge was assassinated, and fell subject to frequent intimidation and harassment, including numerous death threats.[1]
After being dismissed from her position at the newspaper in September 2012 by its new, government-friendly owner, Jansz emigrated to the US, where she now lives.
