Tribune scales new heights as subscription drive turns big hit

The all-new relaunched ‘The Daily Tribune’ subscription drive has been a big hit as it added hundreds of new readers, according to Update Media WLL, which manages the newspaper.

The more than two decades old newspaper was relaunched on May 10, 2018, switching from tabloid to broadsheet. Chief Executive Officer Abdul Jaleel Abdulla expressed thanks to all readers and new subscribers who made the campaign a big success. “Our subscription drive has received an overwhelming response. More corporate and government offices in the Kingdom now subscribe The Daily Tribune,” he said.

Indian national Prerna Gupta, who was named the winner of The Daily Tribune Subscription raffle draw, received brand new Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo 2018 model from Zayani Motors. “I am really overwhelmed to receive this honour. I was on a vacation in India when a Tribune executive rang me up and informed the news.

At first, I thought it was a prank. I couldn’t believe that I was lucky enough to win the prize out of thousands of readers. “This is a special privilege as Tribune has been my favourite newspaper for the past eight years.” Ms Gupta, a Chartered Accountant by profession is a longtime resident of the Kingdom. She is married to Jai Gupta, a banker, and the couple has three children - Kenisha aged seven and twins Krishiv and Krisha (both aged three).
