Roads to Understanding

At a time of great political divisiveness, discord and distrust, KSL TV aims to cut through the rhetoric to shed genuine and productive light on the issues facing Utah’s families and communities across our diverse state. There is consensus that our state is at a critical juncture, facing rising concerns about housing, growth, jobs, education, air quality, energy, public lands, agriculture and more. But how critical those issues are, how they rank, depends in many circumstances on WHERE you live. Committed to telling stories that provide insight into each area’s unique perspective and pain points, KSL TV journalists are fanning across the state to provide Roads to Understanding coverage throughout the weeks leading up to the general election.
