Letter: Be thankful for The Tribune that keeps keeping on
(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.

Be thankful for The Tribune we have
The Salt Lake Tribune printed David Kranes' Dec. 21 opinion page commentary, “The Salt Lake Tribune through the looking-glass."
It is a well-crafted commentary, worth reading as the work of one of our best creative writers. But Kranes blows it in his criticism comparing the Tribune to the days before the nationwide decline of support for print journalism.
Instead, let us be thankful for the paper's valiant attempt to remain in business. That is essential to our community's need for balanced reporting.
Ted Wilson, Salt Lake City
