Chandigarh, November 16

The Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, GGDSD College, Sector 32, organised the third edition of the Prem Bhatia lecture series to celebrate the National Press Day today.

Lt-Governor of Puducherry, Dr Kiran Bedi, was the chief guest on the occasion.

Speaking about the media, Kiran said, “Newspapers are an essential part of governance and administration. It’s important to know what the media is doing, but more important to understand what we get from the media.”

“Newspapers have great evidentiary value, radio is great for the morning news, and TV debates are beneficial. It is, however, important that we reduce stress in these debates and increase tolerance for differing opinions,” she added.

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).
