About sltrib.com
   Welcome to sltrib.com, the Web edition of The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah's largest statewide newspaper.

   We offer our web edition as an appealing, interactive and more visually oriented supplement to the print version, as well as an up-to-the-minute source for news, information on community happenings statewide, entertainment, outdoor recreation, classifieds, chat and personals, weather, breaking news and much more.
   It is not our goal to replicate the print edition online; the best way to ensure you are getting everything in the hardcopy edition of the Tribune is to subscribe for home delivery. Rather, we repackage and expand on select portions of our local newspaper content as a free service to Internet users and as a extensive supplement to the experience of print subscribers.
   Our service began in 1994, when The Salt Lake Tribune launched Utah OnLine, a Wasatch-Front-area dial-up news and information bulletin-board service. On Nov. 26, 1995, we introduced our Web edition and were one of the first newspapers worldwide to do so.
   Our look and format are designed to give both experienced Web users and novices somewhere they can quickly access the news and feel comfortable doing so. We constantly seek to improve our Web offerings, so please contact us with your ideas.

How much of The Salt Lake Tribune is online?
   It is not our goal to replicate the print edition online; the best way to ensure you are getting everything in the hardcopy edition of the Tribune is to subscribe for home delivery. Instead, we repackage and expand on select portions of our local newspaper content as a free service to Internet users and as supplement to the experience of print subscribers. The national and world news you see on our site is updated constantly and automatically by The Associated Press. As a result, the Nation/World section content from the print edition is largely unavailable on our site.
   Display advertising and certain graphical and syndicated elements are not reproducible in online form.
   If you notice a story missing from the Web edition, try using the search page.

Where are your (local, sports, technology, business) stories?
   The task bar at the top of the any page will guide you through all of our available section. Specialized content sections are listed via drop-downs from the main links at the top. Roll over the menu with your mouse to see the secondary links.

Where do I find obituaries?
   Click on the Obituaries button on any page. Obituaries back to mid 1990 can be found in the Archives. Search by first and last name and the word "obituaries" for the best results. Obituaries older than that can be accessed at most Salt Lake area public libraries. The obituaries are hosted by a third-party service, Legacy.com. For questions and comments on the hosting service, you can e-mail them at info@legacy.com.
