Mormon Channel launches Tech Savvy
Mormon Channel, an online station of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, recently launched a new program about technology. Tech Savvy is a 30-minute program airing every other week. As the program’s name implies, Tech Savvy showcases popular technologies; it also teaches families how to integrate them in effective, wholesome ways. Elisa Scharton, the host of Tech Savvy, explains: “We want to talk about healthy ways to use technology and provide information on how people can use it for good. We want to empower both members of the Church and members of the larger community to feel confident sharing feelings about faith in a … way that would help start conversations.”

His "Mormon Moment" is laden with obligation: never in the history of the United States has an ordained minister been a major party's candidate for the presidency.
Talking about the church with the New York Times
As the interest in Mitt Romney’s faith continues to grow, it seems nearly every major media source now feels it has to do some kind of story on “Mormonism” as a part of its coverage of the presidential campaign. Sometimes reporters, journalists and TV stations go directly to the source and talk to the Public Affairs department of the church.

Mormons rally in support of Utah anti-discrimination efforts
Standing on the Capitol steps in front of the small group gathered in support of a now frozen statewide anti-discrimination bill, proud mother Neca Allgood took a moment to brag about her son.

On call with conservatives, Romney speaks to Mormon beliefs
