A tribute to Connie Coyne, the quintessential journalist, who befriended and mentored generations of reporters

Connie Coyne was the prototypical crusty journalist — a raucous, occasionally gruff, but completely dedicated reporter and editor who spent nearly two decades applying her skills and mentoring younger writers at The Salt Lake Tribune, from 1993 to 2010.

Coyne died earlier this month, at the age of 76. Here is her obituary, which I had the honor to report and write for sltrib.com.
