Letter: Homelessness project deserved more ink
(Rachel Molenda | The Salt Lake Tribune) We asked six homeless people in Salt Lake City to photograph their lives and tell us about why they photographed what they did. Clockwise from left, Brad Jensen, Tracy Meunchow, Trevor Peebles, Chris Coons, Adregian Little and Larry "Wolf" Wynn.
The Salt Lake Tribune must print the entirety of the Homeless Perspective Project. Showing such a small amount — in print — was disingenuous to the effort, ideas, opinions and pictures taken. Steering readers to the online version is unacceptable.
The editors can certainly eliminate some of the other over, and over, and over same topic stories being published lately concerning local issues. Our homeless population deserves this.
