The '''''Daily Tribune''''' is an [[English language in the Philippines|English-language]] [[broadsheet]] [[publication]] in the [[Philippines]]. Its [[office]] is in the 3450 Concept Building, Florida Street, [[Makati]], [[Metro Manila]], [[Philippines]].
''The Daily Tribune'', as it was called then, was founded on February 1, 2000, by a group of journalists from the then-defunct ''The Philippine Post'' led by then-Editor-in-Chief and Founding Chairman [[Ninez Cacho-Olivares]]. On June 1, 2018, Concept and Information Group, publisher of the online ''Concept News Central'', acquired the paper from Cacho-Olivares.<ref name="conceptnews">{{cite news|url=http://conceptnewscentral.com/index.php/2018/06/01/daily-tribune-under-new-management-hits-newsstands/|title=Daily Tribune under new management hits newsstands|publisher=Concept News Central|last=Dodson|first=John Henry|date=June 1, 2018|access-date=June 1, 2018|archive-date=July 31, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180731153746/http://conceptnewscentral.com/index.php/2018/06/01/daily-tribune-under-new-management-hits-newsstands/|url-status=dead}}</ref> With the change of hands, "The" from ''The Daily Tribune'' has been dropped.
== History == On February 24, 2006, the ''Tribune'' was raided by the [[Philippine National Police]] at the height of the [[2006 state of emergency in the Philippines|State of Emergency]] imposed by President [[Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo]]. The police presence remained in the paper's office until the State of Emergency was lifted on March 4, 2006. The paper continued to publish normally, making defiant statements throughout. Ninez Cacho-Olivarez, the paper's publisher, claimed that some of her reporters were practising [[self-censorship]], but her own publishing decisions were unaffected. She received substantial publicity and her circulation expanded significantly during the crisis; however, she lost many advertisers who were intimidated by the unstable political situation.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}
