Where You'll Live, Work, and Play

Salt Lake City gives you the rare chance to pursue ambitious journalism in a place where adventure is practically part of the commute. The Wasatch Mountains rise just outside the city, putting legendary skiing, hiking, biking, and mountain landscapes within easy reach, while Utah's red rock country and five national parks make weekend road trips hard to beat.

Beyond the outdoors, Salt Lake City offers a vibrant mix of neighborhoods, restaurants, arts, culture, sports, and a thriving tech scene. It's a place where your career can grow alongside the community you cover, with no shortage of people to meet, places to explore, or stories waiting to be told.
