Chandigarh, March 30

A city-based start-up, Webnyay, has partnered with the News Broadcasters Federation (NBF) to collect, collate and address complaints on the content in news TV channels.

“The partnership will facilitate viewers of the channels and broadcasters to build a credible news information network and address any anomalies virtually by NBF’s Professional News Broadcasting Standards Organisation,” said R Jai Krishna, Secretary-General of the federation.

The NBF-PNBSO is a self-regulatory organisation for the news broadcasting sector in India. It is chaired by former Chief Justice of India Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar. “NBF–Webnyay partnership will allow viewers to raise any complaint against a news channel in their own language. It will be resolved online,” said Ishita Jindal, co-founder of Webnyay. — TNS

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).
