Utah Stories

Utah Stories focuses on empowering and safeguarding the voice of the individual. We believe that the Internet can serve as a platform for personal voices to rise above the noise and distractions of today’s media landscape. Our mission is to celebrate and showcase individuality in a world that often leans towards uniformity. We aim to highlight personal success stories and the unique culture that thrives in Utah. Additionally, Utah Stories is dedicated to supporting local businesses against the influence of special interest groups, government, or corporate entities that may seek to dominate the landscape. We refer to this effort as "debugging society." We have carved out a unique space in Utah for local news that truly serves the interests of business owners and residents alike. To maintain our independence and commitment to the community, we only partner with sponsors or advertisers based in Utah. Our aim is to create meaningful stories that reinforce and nurture the fabric of local communities. When communities are informed about the policies and narratives that impact their lives, they become much stronger than those that are indifferent or feel their individual voices and votes do not matter.

5,000 years ago, a man died in the Alps. The tattoos on his skin may have been his medicine.

A Japanese researcher noticed that the marks matched known acupuncture points—particularly those used for joint pain and digestive distress. Later scans confirmed it: Ötzi had arthritis and a parasitic infection.
