As a nonprofit news organization, we have a clear charitable mission: to engage, educate and empower Utah readers with reporting that informs and advances public dialog.
With support from the Google News Initiative, The Tribune published a playbook in December 2020 that captured the learnings from our transition from a for-profit organization to a nonprofit. The playbook is embedded below.
We recognize that one solution does not fit all and we are also eager to connect with others who have an interest in our model.
