Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. Animation are all set to merge. Reports suggested that Warner Bros. Television Group (WBTVG) will be cutting 26 per cent of their personnel, for a total of 125 positions.

After the announcement, netizens flocked Twitter to pay tribute to the original Cartoon Network. They posted pictures of their favourite animation shows and #RIPCartoonNetwork started trending on social media. On Saturday (October 15), Cartoon Network took to its verified social media handle and issued a statement on the matter: “We’re not dead, we’re just turning 30. To our fans: We’re not going anywhere. We have been and will always be your home for beloved, innovative cartoons. More to come soon.”

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).
