The Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Web. 2 Nov. 2012. It was on July 1, 1847, that the first newspaper published in Utah Territory was issued. The Salt Lake Tribune began publication on April 6, 1880. Today, there are two daily newspapers published in Salt Lake City: the Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News. Both the Herald and the Tribune were founded by William Wood (1824-1907) and his son Charles Wood (1848-1927). The Woods came to Utah from Massachusetts with Brigham Young's First Brigade. They were among the first settlers in Salt Lake City and played key roles in its development. The Woods owned much land in Utah and Nevada, became very wealthy, and invested their money wisely. After Charles' death, William continued to invest his money and became even more successful. He is said to have been one of the richest men in America at the time of his death in 1907. They hired John R. Norris (1825-1892) as an editor of their paper and he later became its owner. Under Norris' management, the Herald grew into one of the largest dailies in Utah.
