The Dhaka Tribune is a major English-language daily newspaper in Bangladesh. It is based in
Dhaka, which is the country's capital and biggest city. It also has a Bangla version on the Internet
called the Bangla Tribune. The newspaper is read by a lot of people in Bangladeshi cities,
especially young people, diplomats, and expatriates. It is also read by more people in South Asia
and around the world. The newspaper is known for its wide range of opinion pieces written by
well-known columnists from Bangladesh, South Asia, and other places. The Dhaka Literary
Festival is also put together by this group. Dhaka Tribune is seemingly young. It came out for
the first time on April 19, 2013. Kazi Anis Ahmed Zafar Sobhan is the owner of the newspaper
and runs it. Dhaka Tribune has sections that come out every week or two weeks, like Fashion,
Tech, Food, Arts & Culture, and so on. But Dhaka Tribune grew and became a newspaper.
Before that, it wasn't a newspaper. It was a broadsheet that was changed into a small-sized
tabloid. The Kazi Farm Group and the Gemcon Group are the two largest groups that own this
newspaper. The newspaper is known for being the English-language news source that has grown
the fastest in Bangladesh's history. It serves the business community, middle class, public and
private universities, and English medium schools. Several journalists who have won awards have
worked for the newspaper.
