Salt Lake City’s “West View” newspaper prepares to say goodbye after 15 years of local reporting.
The difficult media landscape may have just claimed another casualty, but that doesn’t mean a newspaper cannot go out on its own terms. For more than 15 years, The West View—a quarterly publication centered on Salt Lake City’s west-side neighborhoods—provided local reporting by the very people it aimed to represent. Now, that work will be left for others to continue in another form, as The West View will cease operations at the end of the year.
