Moab’s longest running newspaper paves new path as nonprofit under The Salt Lake Tribune

The Times-Independent is used to recording history. But this summer, they made a little of their own. Moab’s longest running newspaper is now a nonprofit under the umbrella of The Salt Lake Tribune. The TI’s longtime publisher sees this move as an opportunity, one that will help sustain local journalism. Today on the news, we head to the presses and hear from staff about this transition. It's one that many news organizations across the country are considering as a way to survive in a changing media landscape.
