PM Narayanan of German TV has been elected as the treasurer for 2025-27. While Narayanan and Nanda have been re-elected for the second term, Awwad succeeded Venkat Narayan, associated with FCC for long.

A statement from the FCC on Sunday said the elections were preceded by the annual general body meeting. The following nine members were elected to the General Council — Mayank Bhardwaj (Reuters), Krishnan P Nayar (Emirates News Agency), Anoop Saxena (German TV), Devina Gupta (BBC), Eshani Mathur (Bloomberg), Rusalan Imaev (Russia Today), Sidhartha Srivastava (CAN), CK Nayak (Jan Aastha Abroad) and Amitav Srivastava (SABC).

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).
