Patiala, October 3

Punjabi University, Patiala during an interactive session on “information disorder and democracy” today discussed the importance of credibility of sources and importance of fact checking.

Daljit Ami, Director, EMRC on the campus discussed fake news, misinformation and disinformation. He said it was important that we access news from credible sources of information. “Social media sources of information should be checked for credibility. In fact, many news organisations have set-up offices and infrastructure to fact-check information due to the use of editing software and technology like artificial intelligence to change information.”

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).
