Letter: How about chucking the schlocky stuff of the “Real Housewives” variety and revamping the arts and entertainment coverage?

Has The Salt Lake Tribune conducted research to determine if enough readers are interested in its frequent coverage of “real,” “Mormon,” “ex-Mo,” “good,” “bad,” or “secret” wives? If not, allow me to be the first participant in a focus group.

Please stop!

Your dedication of column inches — but it seems like feet at times — to such fluff compromises your credibility as a news organization. At times, “The Mix” section is filled with such near-tabloid fodder.

Consider, instead, directing even more attention to the local intellectual, arts and entertainment scenes, which, I would wager, is of far more interest to those who still read newspapers. Currently, “Salt Lake City Weekly” far outshines you in that area.
