Have you, dear reader, noticed how unbalanced our local “Independent Voice,” is with regards to sports coverage vs. hard news coverage? The Tribune, in my opinion, has devolved from once being a reasonably balanced and informative work, to a rag for sports — any kind of sports.
Recently, I counted. Approximately five pages of local news, five pages of national/international news, and eleven pages of sports. On any given day this unbalanced coverage plays out.
You might guess I’m not a sports fan; but beyond that, I thought news coverage was the primary reason for a newspaper. Afterall, it’s not called sportspaper. But maybe it should be. The Tribune sportspaper with a trickle of news.
I for one will be deciding if I stay with The Tribune, or move on to The Washington Post. Alas, I will not be getting any local news if I switch. I will be getting national news where it belongs, on the front page, with more pages of news than sports, and no high coverage of Mormon news, (thank you, Paul Huntsman).
Dare I slaughter the sacred cow?
