Letter: No more soggy Tribunes for me
(Rick Bowmer | The Associated Press) This April 20, 2016, file photo shows copies of The Salt Lake Tribune newspaper in Salt Lake City. The Tribune newsroom takes up one floor of the building that bears its name, overlooking snow-capped mountains and the arena where the Utah Jazz play. Once a Digital First property that dealt with staff reductions and feared closure, the paper was sold to a prominent local family in 2016. Since then, its reporters received their first raise in a decade and won a Pulitzer prize for investigative reporting.
It’s easy to criticize. But let us not forget that in some ways, The Tribune has improved.
In years past, our copy would be delivered bagless on fair days, or single-bagged when it rained. Regardless, if it came in bad weather or on a sprinkler day, it would be soggy and wouldn’t dry out before noon.
Now, because it is routinely double-bagged, it arrives dry, allowing me to do the Sudoku, the Jumble and crossword as I drink my coffee and down my morning pills. Let us count our blessings. Thank you, Salt Lake Tribune.
