‘Trib Talk’: Paul Rolly’s five things to know about Utah politics, Mormons and The Salt Lake Tribune

On today’s episode of “Trib Talk,” Tribune reporter Benjamin Wood chats with recently-retired columnist Paul Rolly about his view of Utah politics after a long media career, and the recent staff cuts at The Salt Lake Tribune.

Rolly: I was promoted to obit[uary] writer, I always liked to joke about that. And I did that for about 6 months and then I went up the traditional ladder in those days. I was a night police reporter and then a general assignment reporter and then started doing various beats.

The beats I probably ended up covering the most [were] political and government, the Legislature and business.
