Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu today unveiled “Media trial in Indian democracy”, a new book authored by Dr Neelam Sharma, Dean of Students’ Welfare and Associate Professor of Journalism at APG Shimla University. The launch ceremony was held at Oak Over, the CM’s official residence.

The 124-page book, comprising six chapters, explores the phenomenon of media trials within India’s democratic and judicial framework. Drawing from her doctoral research, Dr Sharma analyses key case studies to examine how media influence intersects with justice delivery, ethics and public perception.

Dr Sharma said the publication offers critical insights for students, researchers, media practitioners and legal experts.

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).
