Mormon Media Observer: Reporters still neglect story of the Mormon trek

While journalists have told tens of thousands of news stories involving members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — often referred to as "Mormons" — this last year, one quiet story continues to be neglected in the mainstream press. In so doing, readers don't always understand us. The story they often miss is the story of the handcart pioneers. I was thinking of that this week because I recently took my turn as a "Pa" on a Pioneer Trek, a special re-creation of the Mormon pioneers' journey designed for LDS youth.

I read a tweet last week that said the winner of the New Hampshire primary was Mormonism. It based this on the fact that 50 percent of New Hampshirians (New Hampshirites? New Hampshiries? New Hampenstance?) picked a Mormon for their next president. Well, isn't that interesting?

About this ad Defending the Faith: Too many credible gospel witnesses to believe they all lied

Leaving a general conference session a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a demonstrator holding a sign announcing that Joseph Smith had "lied." Now, I don't buy this for a second. The evidence for Joseph's overall sincerity (including his apparent willingness to die for his claims, but also exhibited in his personal papers and letters, which, though never intended for publication, are now being made available to a general audience) is strong and compelling.
