Palu gets new newspaper

PALU, Central Sulawesi: Residents here now have an even wider choice of reading material, as the Tinombala daily became the 15th newspaper to be published here.

The first issue of the daily was launched by Deputy Governor Kiesman Abdullah at a gathering here on Monday.

In a written statement read by Kiesman, Central Sulawesi Governor HB Paliudju expressed hoped that the daily will continue to thrive and prosper as a voice of residents in the area, unlike other recent dailies which have folded.

"I also hope that the first edition of Tinombala will also not be its last," the Governor said as quoted by Antara.

"The daily should be as strong as its namesake, Mount Tinombala," he added.
