Utah News Source - Utah's best source for news service to the local media

The Editors at Utah News Source dare not show you what’s behind these doors, but we could mention the words “boob” and “cake” and leave the rest up to your imaginations. Yikes! or yum! …depending on how you feel about this saucy treat shop .

Utah News Source Editor in Chief, Sarah Buhr is hanging out at the Betalofts today (the new cowork space in downtown Salt Lake). Very open and hip look, hip area of town. Great pick of space by Drew Tyler @knite20. So far we give this place a thumbs up. http://www.betaloftsslc.com

Nothing says enjoying the Utah life like a good road trip to some of the freakiest (and coolest) desert scenery this planet has to offer. I’m talkin’ bout Moab. Arches, red sand and clay, river rafting and good ol’ fashioned tom-foolery were had over the weekend. These here are the pictures to prove it.

We set up camp by the river (and went rafting in it a little further down)

Then went on some cool hikes. I did this one in nothing but my flip flops for some dumb reason. Lucky no one (meaning me) got hurt.

Arches National Park

This one had an echo that a certain mr. man in our group thought to use to shout vulgarities. Little did he realize at the time that other tourists, with children, could hear him so very clearly.

This rental palace sits across Liberty Park, where our Editor in Chief, Sarah Buhr, snapped a pic of it after her run this morning. Horrendous, no?

Funny horse law…It is illegal to fish from horseback in Washington D.C, Colorado, and Utah!

Sweet Life in the Valley, a local and very popular blog with a regular feature on KSL’s Studio 5 just came out with a story highlighting Utah News Source today.

Read all about it here

Editor and Publisher just posted an interesting article about The Deseret News vs. the Salt Lake Tribune and the possible extinction of one or the other. Here is an excerpt:

“A dozen years ago, the publisher of The Salt Lake Tribune walked into a board meeting at the city’s other newspaper, the Deseret News, and offered a blunt assessment.

“This town isn’t big enough for two newspapers,” said Dominic Welch, now retired from running Utah’s largest daily, circulation around 120,000.

Welch finished by telling Deseret News executives “it ain’t going to be you,” according to their account.”

The Trib currently has a higher circulation, 120,000 readers, and the Deseret News has over 74,000 readers. But it is the Deseret News, not the Tribune, that reported a growth in readership this last quarter. That’s interesting because most newspapers are losing readership. In fact, so many papers are in trouble in this country there is actually a website devoted to watching their decline at http://www.newspaperdeathwatch.com

What does this mean when trying to get your news out? Well, both city papers are still alive and reporting to tens of thousands of people. Even though it is true, newspapers are in trouble, they are still a valuable resource in getting your news out to the general public.

Utah News Source has gone through and categorized every reporter and what they cover so your company news and press releases will go to the right person at each paper. We also send your news to the Valley Journals, with a circulation of 314,000 (of course you’ll need to break that up into each area covered individually).
