New Delhi, August 14

Terming the News Broadcasting and Digital Standards Authority (NBDSA) — a self-regulatory mechanism set up by the News Broadcasters and Digital Association (NBDA) — as “ineffective”, the Supreme Court on Monday said it will strengthen the regulations to make them “more effective”.

“We commend you for having a self-regulatory mechanism but that has to be effective,” a three-judge Bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud told advocate Arvind Datar, who represented NBDA.

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).
