The Editors Guild of India moved the SC seeking a special investigation team (SIT) probe into the alleged snooping on politicians and journalists through Pegasus spyware.

“Freedom of the press relies on non-interference by the government and its agencies in reporting of journalists, including their ability to securely speak with sources, investigate abuse of power and corruption, expose governmental incompetence, and speak with those in opposition to the government,” the petition submitted. — TNS

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).
