Why Work at West Valley Source?
Working at West Valley Source means committing to rigorous, independent local journalism for Utah's second-largest city and the surrounding communities of Kearns, Magna, and Taylorsville. We cover everything from City Hall and the City Council to the Granite School District, local businesses at Fairbourne Station, and the parks families use every weekend. Our team values accuracy, deep community roots, and an unwavering dedication to keeping residents informed about what is being built, what city decisions cost, and who is affected across the west side of Salt Lake County.
We are a small local newsroom. Tell us what you would bring, and we will talk through how we can work together.
