Mormon Media "Perfect Storm"

A marked increase in media coverage of the LDS Church in recent years has been dubbed “The perfect storm” by LDS author Richard Bushman. The 2002 Winter Olympics could be said to have started this, but really the increase in coverage can be largely attributed to the now defunct Mitt Romney campaign and the passing of Church president Gordon B. Hinckley. Joel Campbell of Mormon Times takes a look at this phenomena from an international perspective and shows that many myths and misconceptions about the Mormon people continue to be spread through the media.
