PLUS: The double-edged sword of citing sources in journalism, more rumors about Jazz trades and is Airbnb to blame for the housing shortage?
Good morning! Here's today’s forecast: ☀️ 51 – 96° in Logan 🌤️ 72 – 100° in Salt Lake City ⛈️ 78 – 97° in St. George | 💧 40% chance | ⚠️Weather Alert I recently got into the podcast “American Elections: Wicked Game.” It takes you through every residential election from George Washington’s first term in 1789 to the 2020 election. The title comes from a 1796 letter John Adams sent his wife Abigail about running for president saying, “I am determined to be a Silent Spectator of the silly and the wicked Game…” Spoiler alert: He broke that promise really fast. Tell me: What are some of your favorite podcasts right now? Reply and tell me what I should listen to. Also on our minds: Should we be blaming Airbnb and VRBO for Utah's housing shortage, the Jazz could be trading more than just Donovan Mitchell and "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" is a timeless classic. |

|
| | Sources say that everyone wants to be "in the know," but choosing which journalistic sources to cite can be a gamble. With the current rumors swirling around the Utah Jazz trading Donovan Mitchell (and possibly others), sports contributor Dave McCann takes a look into the industry that runs on sources who don't always reveal their identity. | As you're deciding who to vote for, what are your biggest concerns? We polled 801 registered Utah voters, and here are a few insights: What most people are concerned about: 24% said the economy is the most important issue to them. What the fewest people are concerned about: 4% of respondents are most concerned about the structure of the Supreme Court and another 4% are concerned about immigration. Other concerns included the role of government, abortion, gun control, the environment and more.
