Current Position

Location: Moab, UT

Beat: Tourism and government reporter in Moab, Utah

Position:

Moab is a mecca for outdoor adventure seekers. Two national parks, two state parks and the Colorado River are just minutes from downtown. The 3 million annual visitors affect Moab's economy, recreation, and growth. Local and state governments shape policy, and many view the tension between extraction and tourism as representative of what’s happening elsewhere in Utah. A reporter will cover what this tension means to Moabites’ daily lives.
