As a reader of The Salt Lake Tribune for the last 54 years, who greatly enjoys the morning paper with a cup of coffee, I understand the disappointment in losing the daily print edition. However, the importance of supporting the digital edition needs to be emphasized.
The great public service and investigative reporting done by the writers and reporters is still needed. People should be aware of this option and support it fully. Some of us old curmudgeons may even learn to like it. Don’t let The Tribune wither. Subscribe, even if you don’t use it. We need The Trib!
