When I read of the Huntsmans' purchase of The Salt Lake Tribune, I felt like breaking into the Hallelujah Chorus.

Finally the knights in shining armor had appeared and Utah would be able to continue to have an independent voice, superb investigative reporting and a forum for a wide range of ideas, including those of progressives. The wait and worry is over.

On behalf of myself and others who are loyal Trib readers, I say, thank you, Huntsman family.
