Letter: Tribune is worth it despite rising print costs
(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune)
Paul Huntsman, owner of The Salt Lake Tribune, warns staff members of impending layoffs, Tuesday, May 8, 2018.
I would like to applaud The Salt Lake Tribune for continuing to publish the print edition in spite of increasing digital competition and rising costs due to more new tariffs on newsprint.
Even with a much-diminished newsroom staff, I continue to notice improved content plus better layout and organization in my daily paper. George Pyle and Robert Gehrke do great jobs as “watchdogs.”
Thank you to all your staff who create and deliver my paper every day. I greatly fear that could end. The minuscule rate increases recently announced will not deter my support. It could have been much more. I herewith encourage all readers to stay the course as well.
Judith Griffin, Midway
