Mumbai, February 10

Facebook has tied up with Reliance Communications (RCom) to offer free access to subscribers of Anil Ambani-led firm to the social networking site as well as about three-dozen general information websites.

With Facebook seeking to connect more people in the world’s second-biggest mobile market with internet, India will become the first country in Asia to get the new internet.org app. The app targets mobile phone users. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
