Salt Lake Tribune Retirees Call for a U.S. Department of Justice Probe of JOA Revisions

Salt Lake Tribune retirees and other former employees have asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the recent Tribune-Deseret News joint operation agreement revisions. The changes, says the letter sent Monday to the DOJ, “would threaten the [Tribune's] independence and give too much control of The Tribune to the competing Deseret News Publishing Co. and its owner, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
