Utah Stories Magazine
Utah Stories tells the stories of entrepreneurs, artisans and farmers who have found a way to create wealth independently. We believe that freedom stems from a person's ability to enjoy the lifestyle they desire by developing a skill, craft, trade, talent or business. This happens to be Thomas Jefferson's vision for America. We believe in protecting individual's ability to do this in the free market by conducting investigative journalism when there are interests impeding a true free market. Crony capitalism, special interests, and corporate welfare run rampant and need greater examination, with the decline of traditional local journalism. We wish to help facilitate the true 4th estate of free media scrutiny. We accomplish this goal largely thanks to tips from our readers. If there is malfeasance going on in your community due to government corruption or crony capitalism please let us know. We pay for great stories and tips!
