I have been a loyal reader of The Tribune all my life. It is now a habit that I see no reason to give up. Like my morning cup of tea and my morning walk! Reading a newspaper is a habit, a second nature to all of us. I can speak for myself and say that I cannot imagine life without a morning dose of The Tribune! Even when I lived in distant lands, I would make sure that The Tribune was delivered to me. — Dr Manmohan Singh

Dr Manmohan Singh releases the book ‘The Tribune 130 Years: A Witness to History’, written by noted historian VN Datta, in New Delhi in 2012. Standing (from left) are the then Editor-in-Chief, Raj Chengappa, Trustee Justice (retd) SS Sodhi, the then President of The Tribune Trust,

RS Talwar, and Trustees NN Vohra (J&K Governor at the time and the current Trust President), Lt Gen SS Mehta (retd) and Naresh Mohan.

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).
