Express Newspapers (Virakesari) is a verified legacy media entity with significant scale (350+ employees, founded 1930) and market leadership in the Sri Lankan Tamil demographic. While the project submission itself provides minimal detail and vague claims ('everyone', 'most people'), the underlying entity's verifiable history, operational size, and readership volume justify a score in the 'Comparable/Large Scale' tier. The score is penalized by the lack of specific digital metrics in the submission and low technical novelty.
