Veteran documentarian Julia Reichert, who won an Oscar in 2020 for her feature American Factory, passed away at the age of 76 due to cancer.

Reichert received four Academy Award nominations and one win, two Primetime Emmys, a Director’s Guild Award and two Peabody Awards nods. Her documentaries, including the Oscar-nominated Union Maids, Seeing Red: Stories of American Communists, and The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant, addressed issues of gender, class, race, and the world economy.

Reichert, who was born and reared in Bordentown Township, New Jersey, graduated from Antioch College in 1970 and published her debut documentary, “Growing Up Female,” in 1971. She spent 28 years teaching film production at Wright State University.

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).
