Show Notes
Latter-day Saints are often interested in the public perception of their faith. We've long been written about, defended, condemned, praised, or vilified in national press outlets. Professor J.B. Haws has researched extensively how the public perception of the Church has shifted over time, and the reasons why. In this episode he explores the perception of the Church in the American public press, specifically since the 1950's, and the events that have shaped those perceptions, and still do today.
