About Mormon News

Mormon News is an independent news aggregator covering the Mormon world: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the people, institutions, culture, and communities connected to it — faithful, former, and everything in between.

How stories are chosen. An automated editorial system scans established news sources every hour, scores stories for significance against a written editorial rubric, and publishes short original summaries that always link to the original reporting. We summarize; the linked outlets did the journalism, and they deserve your click.

Independence and disclosures. Mormon News is independently operated. It is not affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or with any organization, outlet, or channel it covers, and no outlet or channel receives preferential treatment in story selection — all sources are judged by the same editorial rubric. In the rare case that a story involves a party connected to this site's operation, the story carries a disclosure note.

Crime coverage. Crime stories are held to stricter rules: they must originate from established news organizations reporting official actions (charges, indictments, court proceedings), they use allegation language — “alleged,” “charged with” — until a court has ruled, and each one passes an additional automated compliance review against these standards before publishing. When charges we have covered are dropped or end in acquittal, we cover that too, with equal prominence.

Corrections. Errors are corrected in place with a visible correction note. Every story page includes a report-an-error link. Write to corrections@mormonnews.com.

Publishers. Story thumbnails are the preview images publishers attach to their own articles, displayed directly from the publisher's servers with attribution and a link. If you are a publisher and would like a thumbnail removed, email corrections@mormonnews.com and we will remove it promptly.
