[edit] Which is Oldest?

They can't both be (Salt Lake Tribune), but the claim is in both articles. Someone needs to fix this. Moogle 03:35, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Actually, the DNews claims to be the oldest continually printed, whereas the SLTrib claims to be just the oldest...there is a difference... [[User:JonMoore|JON, Conqueror of Men - (Talk to Me, Baby!)]] 04:13, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

According to the Utah Press Association, the Deseret News is the second oldest newspaper west of the Mississippi, and began publication June 15, 1850 only 8 months after the New Mexican of Santa Fe, New Mexico.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.97.13.193 (talk • contribs) 21:28, 20 January 2006

[edit] Merge MormonTimes to DMN

The MormonTimes is basically just another "brand" that the Deseret Morning News (DMN) uses to earn advertising dollars for web-based content. A large portion of the site just recycles DMN content, with a little aggregation from other news sources & content providers. While there is some originally content, the site is not notable enough (even in LDS circles) to merit a standalone article separate from the DMN. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 23:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Support. Ok, this is not Church News. It is just a section and website of Deseret Morning News, so in this case I think it would actually be sensible to merge. Cool Hand Luke 02:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Incidentally, "Church News" has a stronger claim to being a separate article because it has a somewhat different history and is an official LDS organ, but I agree with this merge. Cool Hand Luke 02:07, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
