The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon, or LDS Church) has a website called lds.org. One section of this website is LDS Newsroom. [1] Newsroom has statistical and background articles about the Church, news and news archives, and videos and photographs for use by the press. Information about humanitarian aid and welfare projects is also available at the newsroom.
There is background information on the following subjects: core beliefs and practices, education, history of the Church, family, family history work, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, growth of the Church, biographies of church leaders, the missionary program, the organization of the Church, race relations, and temples. Statistical information is available for all the countries where the Church has a presence, and all the states of the U.S.A.
Most recently, a Church blog has been added [2] The site has this to say about the blog:
- The Public Affairs Department is pleased to announce the launch of the Newsroom Blog today with this first blog post. For nearly 10 years, Newsroom.lds.org has provided official news and information for journalists, opinion leaders and the public, and it will continue to do so. The purpose of this blog is to supplement the Newsroom Web site with additional stories from the Church that may not lend themselves to a news release, and to provide additional context and background on stories that appear in the news media.
- You may notice a different, more conversational tone on this blog than you would see in official news releases on the Newsroom Web site. This blog will be managed and written by staff of the Public Affairs Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The information here will be reliable and accurate but should not necessarily be viewed as official statements from the Church. The purpose of this blog is to provide journalists, bloggers and the public with additional context and information regarding public issues and news stories involving the Church.
