Cheers to the Salt Lake Tribune, a local newspaper that is removing its paywall. Here's how they explain it: "We believe trusted, independent journalism is a right - not a luxury. And at a time when misinformation spreads faster than ever, expanding access isn't just important - it's necessary." They are asking for donations from their readers. It's a model that has worked elsewhere - The Guardian (which I send money to every month) has done it for years. And as readers here know, we're adopting the same approach here at OLDaily.
