Frankly, it's weird that a state and city as small as Utah and SLC, respectively, could support two daily papers. Dallas lost its second paper a long time ago. Houston as well.
I would guess that the only reason that SLC has two papers is the Mormon church. Some people want the home cooking. Some want the "independent voice." But w/o that factor, there would only be one newspaper. As it is, it is somewhat likely that there will be eventually no newspapers in SLC/Utah.
