Utah’s drought, drilling near a dinosaur wonderland, and police reforms on this week’s ‘Behind the Headlines’

Join Salt Lake Tribune journalists on KCPW’s news roundup.

(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Protesters march against police brutality in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, June 2, 2020. KCPW's "Behind the Headlines" will discuss police reforms enacted in the wake of George Floyd's murder.

Drought strains Utah’s water supplies and the dry conditions mean a severe (and expensive) fire season may be coming. Conservationists object to proposed exploratory drilling near the edge of Dinosaur National Monument. And a year after George Floyd’s death, how much has changed in Utah police practices?

At 9 a.m. on Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Leia Larsen and Brian Maffly, along with editorial page editor George Pyle, join KCPW’s Roger McDonough to talk about the week’s top stories.

Every Friday at 9 a.m., stream “Behind the Headlines” at kcpw.org, or tune in to KCPW 88.3 FM or Utah Public Radio for the broadcast. Join the live conversation by calling 801-355-TALK.
