Biographical NoteReturn to Top
A pioneer in Utah journalism, George W. Reed was born in London, England, on April 7, 1833. He immigrated to Utah in 1862 and became manager of the Deseret News, a position he held until 1871 when he founded the Salt Lake Tribune. In 1882, after a decade at the Tribune, Reed sold his interest in the paper to P. H. Lannan. He married Elizabeth Tuddenham in 1866 and passed away December 1, 1909.
