The Decline of Journalism in Utah With Longtime Publisher of 4 Different Utah Newspapers, Rhett Long

Newspapers and local journalism is a small fraction of what it was 20 years ago. Journalists are not scrutinizing the actions of our elected leaders, nor the ways our tax dollars are being spent. Journalists are not scrutinizing their cronyism, and they're not checking facts well enough. Rhett Long, longtime publisher of The Daily Herald in Provo, The Standard Examiner in Ogden, The Pyramid in Ephraim, The Spectrum in St George, The Daily News in Cedar City, and The Mesquite Times joins Utah Stories to discuss journalism in Utah.
