“The weekly press was instrumental in the development of Utah, and my association with and appreciation of Utah’s weekly press goes back to childhood.”

Sam and I were journalism students at the University of Utah. We were veterans, older than our classmates. Sam flew his own airplane from Moab to attend classes. He did the same later when he was elected senator to serve in the Utah Legislature — that was back when legislators cared about Utah and its people. Sam and I sometimes disagreed, but we never had a cross word. He was a friend in the most meaningful sense of that word. As I recall, he met his wife, Adrien, at the university.
Surviving week to week was always a challenge. One Utah weekly newspaper I kept for years had a blank page with headline type reading, “There should be an advertisement here.” A following blank half page read, “Here, too.” Many weekly publishers who came to Utah early on were not members of the “predominant church.” They and their families made immense contributions to the cultural growth of cities and towns throughout the state and to the state itself. Newspaper publishers were community leaders. They supported education, boosted local economies, increased diversity and reduced cultural isolation.

Trump indictment emerges as central GOP concern at Utah special election debateSimmering right-wing anger over the U.S. Justice Department's indictment of former President Donald Trump was on stark display at a Republican primary debate in Utah, where U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart's plans to resign prompted the governor to call a special election to fill his seat in the state's deeply conservative 2nd Congressional District. Little daylight emerged between two Republicans vying to replace resigning U.S. Rep.
