The Historic Journey of The Tribune Newspaper

The Tribune, a venerable institution in South Asian journalism, first saw the light of day on February 2, 1881. Its inaugural edition was published in Lahore, a city now located in Pakistan. What began as a vital voice in a burgeoning landscape has since evolved, and today, The Tribune continues its publication from Chandigarh, India, carrying forward a rich legacy of reporting and public service.

This influential publication was founded by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a prominent philanthropist and public-spirited individual. His vision was to establish an independent English-language newspaper that would serve the public interest, foster informed debate, and advocate for social reform. For over 140 years, The Tribune has upheld these founding principles, adapting through historical changes and technological advancements while remaining a steadfast source of news for its readers.
