This needs a lot more work, but at least I've made a start. . Paulanderson 16:00, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I'm still plugging away at this and will do more in the next few weeks. But I've drawn a complete blank on H. J. Hartshorn, the second editor. Does anyone know what happened to him? Paulanderson

List of Editors
I thought that this article could do with a simple list of editors, so I have compiled one, using only the info in the article.

It looks straightforward enough, except for the period for 1941-45, when (according to the article) Nye Bevan was nominally editor, but Jon Kimche was the hands-on editor. Going strictly by the book, I guess that Bevan should be listed, but it seems to me to be more accurate to list Bevan and Kimche as joint editors.

Any thoughts?

Anyway, here's the list as drafted:


 * 1) William Mellor (1937–38)
 * 2) H. J. Hartshorn (1938–1940)
 * 3) Raymond Postgate (1940–41)
 * 4) Aneurin Bevan and Jon Kimche (1941–45)
 * 5) Frederic Mullally and Evelyn Anderson (1945–46)
 * 6) Jon Kimche and Evelyn Anderson (1946–48)
 * 7) Michael Foot and Evelyn Anderson (1948–52)
 * 8) Bob Edwards (1952–55)
 * 9) Michael Foot (1955–60)
 * 10) Richard Clements (1960–82)
 * 11) Chris Mullin (1982–84)
 * 12) Nigel Williamson (1984–87)
 * 13) Phil Kelly (1987–91)
 * 14) Paul Anderson (1991–93)
 * 15) Mark Seddon (1993–2004)
 * 16) Chris McLaughlin (2004–present)

This list is pretty good: the only slight problem is with the 1940s. To be a bit pedantic: Bevan remained nominal editor for a little while in 1945 after Kimche left for the first time and Mullally arrived; Evelyn Anderson was listed as assistant editor (the same as Kimche) before 1945, though I'd need to check dates; and Bevan's role as political director of the paper was taken over by Michael Foot in 1945 although he didn't formally become editor until 1948...Paulanderson 14:43, 24 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Shall we run with the above list, despite the hard-to-explain situation in the 1940s? I'm for inserting it as the last section of the article, with the name "List of editors". Unless there are objections, I'll do that. Rwendland 15:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Requesting article "Tribunite"
Does anyone feel able to create a stub on Tribunite (sub-set of the mid-20th century British Left)? The only sources I have are

http://www.allwords.com/word-Tribunite.html

(and other pages with identical text)

and this from Guardian

http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,6109,1530801,00.html

"According to his biographer, Professor Bernard Crick, Orwell saw himself as a Tribunite socialist whose experiences in the Spanish civil war had left him sharply disillusioned with Soviet communism."

I would cheerfully accept adding some text on the details of the term "Tribunite" to Tribune (magazine) and making Tribunite redirect here. -- 201.50.123.251 13:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Whoops. If we're just going to make Tribunite redirect here, IMHO then we do need to add the text clarifying it. -- 201.50.123.251 13:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Tribunite usually refers to The Tribune Group, which is already covered in the article: Tribune (magazine). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:30, 3 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but -- I originally requested an article or section on Tribunite as a result of the term being used for George Orwell (1903-1950). Tribune (magazine) says "The Tribune Group of Labour MPs was formed as a support group for the newspaper in 1964," making it rather unlikely that this was the reference intended for Orwell. Talk:George_Orwell I'm still trying to track this one down. -- Writtenonsand 13:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Disputing Neutrality in Article
There seems to be no criticism in this article and I feel this article has a heavy bias to the left, like its subject. I am a Conservative (so I may be ever so slightly exaggerating here) but this is not a neutral article. Spa-Franks (talk) 16:23, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Has Tribune closed?
Has Tribune closed?--Darrelljon (talk) 12:50, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I thought it had, as it has let its website go, but nothing about it in the Press Gazette, then I saw this story which suggests it is still going. Back in October 2012 there was another "seeks bailout" story. Rwendland (talk) 14:31, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
