""We believe trusted, independent journalism is a right - not a luxury. And at a time when misinformation spreads faster than ever, expanding access isn't just important - it's necessary.""
""When the switch is pulled in May, current digital subscribers will be converted to monthly donors at the same level. The paper says it'll make it easy for current subscribers to opt out, but I'm guessing most people will keep paying - hey, now it'll be tax-deductible.""
In May, the Salt Lake Tribune will remove its paywall, allowing free access to all newly published stories. This decision follows its conversion to nonprofit status in 2019, which has led to financial stability. The Tribune aims to provide quality local news without limiting access based on payment ability. Current digital subscribers will transition to monthly donors, retaining some exclusive benefits. The initiative reflects a commitment to trusted journalism as a right, especially in combating misinformation.
