About The Tribune

The Salt Lake Tribune has been Utah's independent voice since 1871. In 2019, we became the first legacy U.S. newspaper to transition to nonprofit status, helping to lead a national movement toward sustainable local journalism.

In spring of 2026 we will remove our subscription paywall and move to a voluntary donation-based membership. To support this shift, we are expanding our development team.
