Utah Newspapers

Browse 41 newspapers from Utah, from major metropolitan dailies to community weeklies.

Publishing in the Beehive State is historically defined by the enduring two-newspaper rivalry in its capital city. The secular, non-profit Salt Lake Tribune and the LDS Church-owned Deseret News dominate the statewide market, having maintained a joint operating agreement for decades before shifting toward digital-first distribution models. Outside the capital, readers rely on regional dailies like the Ogden Standard-Examiner and the Logan Herald Journal to cover their local communities. Alternative publications such as the Salt Lake City Weekly provide independent investigative journalism, alongside rural outlets like Moab's Canyon Country Zephyr.
