Welcome to The Byway!
We are a newspaper covering events and commentary on issues along the Utah Byway 12 in or around Piute, Wayne and Garfield counties, Utah. Our area is one of the most remote corners of Utah, with 9,000 residents spread over an area roughly the size of New Jersey.
Our missions are to:
- Open a forum for positive civil discourse.
- Unite Rural Utah with content written by us, about us.
- Provide an opportunity for our youth to write and be read.
We strive to make content that residents will be proud to call theirs.
