Salt Lake Tribune In Danger? We'll Discuss On Thursday's Access Utah

utahpoliticohub.com

Concerned community members say that because of a new joint operating agreement between the Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News, the Tribune is in danger.

We’ll talk with state Senator Jim Dabakis, who is spearheading a petition drive “Save the Tribune,” which urges the U. S. Justice Department to block the new JOA; Salt Lake Tribune Editor, Terry Orme; and Joan O’Brien, with the Utah Newspaper Project. We’ll have phone lines and email open for you to weigh in as well.
