This is my collection of links to news about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and its members, doctrines, influences and quirks.
Articles are sorted by date of publication (and optionally by category).
Selection is biased. Instead of linking to every news item out there, I aim to include just the most interesting articles in the major press. I usually don't link to articles published by LDS and Utah institutions.

On Sunday morning, the excellent Tim Russert interviewed Harry Reid on Meet the Press.
RUSSERT: You are a Mormon. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints had a statement on marriage: “The Church favors a constitutional amendment preserving marriage as the lawful union of a man and a women.”
Do you accept that message, the statement from your church?
REID: Tim, we have in America today many, many states, I don’t know the exact number, I think 11 or 13 in this last election cycle, said, “In our state, you have to have marriage between a man and a woman.” That’s a law in the state of Nevada. And within a couple years, even Massachusetts, that will be the law.
...
I do not think it’s necessary at this time to have a constitutional amendment in that regard.
RUSSERT: Will that upset your church leaders?
REID: You’ll have to ask them.
Somebody ask them! I want to know what they think. You go, Harry.
