New Delhi, January 28

Noting that certain content aired by TV news channels had an “instigating effect”, the SC on Thursday said the government wasn’t doing anything to check such reporting.

“Fair and truthful reporting is not a problem. Problem is when it is used to agitate others,” the SC said. The petitioners have sought strict action against channels “spreading communal hatred”. — 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).
