The Deseret News is a newspaper published in Salt Lake City and is Utah’s oldest continually published daily newspaper. 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. LDS Church News is a publication that includes news of the LDS Church. Mormon Times is about the people, faith and culture associated with the LDS church.
History
The Deseret News was first published on June 15, 1850. It was named Deseret News because it was the voice of the then State of Deseret. Originally a weekly paper, the Deseret News became a semi-weekly in October 1865 and was named the Deseret Evening News. That title was dropped in 1920. The paper began publishing as an afternoon daily in 1922. In 1931, the Church News began publishing weekly. In 2003 the Deseret News began publishing as a morning daily and changed the name to Deseret Morning News. In 2008 the name reverted back to the Deseret News.
