The Salt Lake Tribune

The Salt Lake Tribune is Utah's largest daily newspaper, founded in 1871. It began as an alternative voice to the prevailing political and economic policies of the time, particularly those of the Mormon Church. Over the years, it has evolved into a leading source of news, focusing on accountability journalism and investigative reporting. The Tribune offers comprehensive news coverage on various topics, including air quality, cultural trends, sports, and political analysis. It is recognized for its commitment to transparency and community engagement, especially after transitioning to a nonprofit model in 2019. This shift allows the newspaper to emphasize local perspectives and give voice to underrepresented groups. The Salt Lake Tribune aims to be an essential community resource, providing trusted news and information to the people of Utah.
