Celebrating 145 years of The Tribune
Beyond serious reportage, what truly hooked me were the lighter joys the paper brought — the famous ‘middles’, the crossword puzzle
Former Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa recounts his 60-year association with The Tribune, starting in 1967. He appreciates its coverage of Punjab, the military, and balanced reporting. He mentions personal milestones featured in the paper and praises its fairness, especially during his time as Vice Chief and post-Balakot airstrikes.
The author appreciates The Tribune for its truthful reporting, rooted in principles of restraint and independence. Key strengths include its trust-based ownership, focus on North India's challenges, and high-quality opinion pages, fostering balanced and nuanced perspectives. The paper promotes accountable opinions.
The author's connection with The Tribune began in childhood, evolving from sports pages to a love for diverse content like editorials and weekend supplements. Inspired by the paper, the author even published work. The author valued specific columnists and writers, and continued reading the paper online after moving, though the physical experience is missed.
