Not unexpected: “The Desert News” is nothing but a pro-Mormon mouth piece.
The Deseret News is a newspaper published in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is Utah’s oldest continually published daily newspaper. It has the second largest daily circulation in the state behind The Salt Lake Tribune. The Deseret News is owned by Deseret News Publishing Company, a subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation, which is a for-profit business holdings company owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (colloquially known as the Mormon or LDS Church).
The newspaper is published by Newspaper Agency Corporation, which it co-owns with the Kearns-Tribune LLC, a fully owned subsidiary of Media News Group, under a joint operating agreement. As of 2000, its circulation was roughly half of the Tribune’s.[2] As of 2006, combined circulation of the 2 papers was 151,422.[3]
The Deseret News also publishes a weekly tabloid-sized insert, the Church News, which is included in the newspaper and also distributed as a separate publication outside Utah with the “Mormon Times” section. Church News includes news of the LDS Church and has been published since 1931.[4] Since 1974, the Deseret News has published the Church Almanac, composed of LDS Church facts and statistics edited by Church News staff. The “Mormon Times” is about “the people, faith and culture associated with the church.”[5]
Not unexpected: “The Desert News” is nothing but a pro-Mormon mouth piece.
