The Tribune was a newspaper first published in Melbourne, Australia in 1900 for the Roman Catholic Church.
A newspaper Catholic Tribune was published in Melbourne by bookseller James Shanley (died March 1857) from 2 July 1853,[1][2] and may have ceased with the advent of the Advocate on 1 February 1868.
[3] In November 1870 The Tribune was founded in Melbourne by William Ponsonby McMahon[4] aimed at a liberal–labour Catholic readership,[5] but failed to thrive.
In 1900 The Tribune subtitled "A Journal of Information and Literature" was founded, with McMahon its publisher and editor.
McMahon resigned in January 1920 to take up a less demanding post as organising secretary to the Victorian Catholic Federation.
