New York Times columnists have been dumped by the Salt Lake City Tribune.
"As with all agonizing decisions in the world of newspaper shrinkage, this one came after consideration of a tradeoff. It came down to keeping the New York Times News Service or keeping a local news staffer," Tim Fitzpatrick, deputy editor and editorial page editor , of Salt told Wapo.
According to Fitzpatrick, "original reporting on local news fetches more page views than, say, a [Paul] Krugman column hosted on the New York Times sites and elsewhere. ..."
Salt op-ed pages will continue to carry columns from the Washington Post stable — George Will, E.J. Dionne, Eugene Robinson, Charles Krauthammer, Kathleen Parker — from Bloomberg View, from Slate and separately syndicated writers including Leonard Pitts and Rich Lowry.
