Paul Huntsman's Ownership of The Salt Lake Trib

The man poised to own The Salt Lake Tribune, and therefore chart its editorial and business direction, is described by family, friends and colleagues as unassuming and reserved, the kind of guy who will say something thoughtful but only if you approach him first.

Paul Huntsman is 46, a Republican and a devout Mormon who has operated largely within his family's business and philanthropic empire for the past 15 years, occasionally acting as a surrogate at public functions for his famous father, Jon Huntsman Sr.

But Paul Huntsman wants to make this much clear: His billionaire father isn't buying The Tribune nor is the Huntsman family. He is.
