If the Trib is truly the fine piece of journalism you are claiming, there is a critical mass of people in Utah who could support it. However, they apparently don't think it's even worth a few bucks. Imagine that, those fans of the Trib in Utah, aren't willing to pony up a few pennies a day for that pulitzer.
I haven't lived in Utah for years, and if I have learned nothing else, it is that the Trib is a joke and not that many people think its necessary or even give a crap about its slow death.
