Having failed to conceive for nine long years, Lesley Brown became a proud mother of the first IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) baby, Louise Joy Brown, on July 25, 1978, kindling hope among lakhs of couples struggling with infertility. The baby was born at Royal Oldham Hospital, UK.

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).
