'New' Trib drives writer away

Will Bagley, author of the "History Matters" column in The Salt Lake Tribune the last four years, announced he is parting ways with the Trib because (1) his boss wouldn't give him a raise, (2) his editors didn't think he was funny and (3) new owners and managers from MediaNews Group stifled him as if he were "a freethinker in a BYU Gospel Doctrine class."
