  "account": "The Hindu celebrates its 148th Foundation Day today. Since its inception as a weekly in 1878, the world has evolved significantly, yet the principles upheld by The Hindu remain unchanged. Since publishing its first editorial on September 20, 1878, the core values of fairness, justice, promoting harmony and unity, and maintaining a secular editorial policy have remained steadfast. These values are as pertinent today as they were during the foundation of the organization. In this article, we invite readers to embark on a journey through the past 148 years, revisiting memorable milestones. From the inaugural editorial 'Ourselves' to our interactive issue on India's Independence, and our code of editorial values, The Hindu has consistently adhered to its convictions. \"Living our Values: The Hindu’s Code of Editorial Values,\" \"The Hindu Experience - The Hindu’s history till 2003,\" \"Kasturi Buildings: A tour through the premises,\" \"From the annals of history: The Hindu as published on Aug. 15, 1947,\" and \"A tryst with the past - The Hindu’s editorial on August 15, 2022, when India celebrated 75 years of Independence\" are just a few of the highlights encapsulating The Hindu's journey.",
