The top 10 stories of 2010 according to Deseret News and KSL readers and viewers
Matt Gillis, Deseret News/KSL-TV Chopper 5
At year end, we traditionally ask readers to tell us which of the year’s events they consider the top story. For 2010, we asked readers and viewers of both the Deseret News and KSL to rank a series of stories, selecting the 10 they considered the most important.
The poll was conducted on both DeseretNews.com and KSL.com. This is the year as they saw it.
(Note that the poll was taken prior to the Provo Tabernacle fire, which is why it did not make the list.)
For a look at which stories gained the most attention on deseretnews.com this year, check out this list.

I can't believe that the Provo Tabernacle burning to the ground didn't even make your top ten list. Yes it happened near the end of the year but it still happened in 2010. This may not have happened where somebody was killed but many lives were impacted because of this tragedy. It made more of an impact than BYU and Utah leaving the MWC. Obviously you don't know what really is important news.
What about President Packer's talk at General Conference?

If you read the intro, you'd know why the Provo Tabernacle fire isn't on the list.
Also, these rankings have nothing to do with what the biggest "tragedy" was or anything of the sort. It's about the "biggest news." If biggest "tragedy" or most "important" are what you want, maybe suggest it to the editors or host your own poll, because this poll is certainly not that.
What are you people talking about? It's #4. Apparently someone edited it.
OK. Enough Elizabeth Smart.
Leave her in peace, and quit subjecting us to any more information about her. Enough already.
Proof once again that the money in the media is made from murders and fires. If it bleeds it leads.
The real tragedy is that will be similar stories happening in Utah in 2011. It never ends.
This is a very depressing list.
Honestly guys, Did you not read the intro? These stories were picked by readers of ksl.com and the Deseret news, NOT the news companies themselves. These are the stories that people chose as the top ten out of a list of 23 stories and by the time the voting was over the tabernacle in Provo was still in one piece. -ahem- person from Huntington beach, CA. >.>
