means An official or publication that champions and defends the rights of ordinary people against those in power.

from From Latin tribunus, itself rooted in tribus ('tribe') — the Roman tribes into which citizens were divided. A tribunus was originally just a tribal officer, but the title came to designate the Tribune of the Plebs, a magistrate elected specifically to protect common citizens from the abuses of patrician power. The word's later leap into newspaper mastheads (Chicago Tribune and kin) borrows exactly that self-image: the press as the people's watchdog against the powerful.
