About The Tribuneh3>
The Salt Lake Tribune has been Utah’s independent voice since 1871. In 2019, we became the first legacy U.S. newspaper to transition to nonprofit, helping to lead a national movement toward sustainable local journalism.
We are now offering a Business Development Fellowship to help expand our print and digital advertising programs. This role offers more than just a paycheck. You’ll gain hands‑on experience in sales and marketing, build your professional network, and strengthen your resume — all while helping sustain independent journalism in Utah.
The Role

This role is ideal for outgoing, self‑motivated, and community‑oriented individuals who are eager to learn, grow, connect and make an impact. This is a part‑time, hourly, non‑benefitted position.
As a fellow, you may receive class (internship) credit. You will also meet with senior leaders at The Tribune, have the opportunity to attend strategy and planning sessions and will be invited to Tribune events during the time of your fellowship.
What You’ll Do
Develop, pitch, and sell print and digital advertising campaigns
Build and maintain relationships with locally‑owned businesses
Represent The Tribune in a professional, community‑oriented manner
Track and report sales activity and progress toward revenue goals
Support Tribune‑produced events and sponsorship opportunities as needed
Why You’ll Love Working Here
Competitive hourly pay + bonuses for meeting sales goals
Flexible schedule designed to fit around school and other commitments
Resume‑building experience in media, sales, and marketing
Networking opportunities with Utah’s business and nonprofit leaders
Mentorship under The Tribune’s Chief Development Officer
