Church News is a digital and print publication operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It functions as a dedicated news platform for the church, published daily online and weekly in a tabloid format. The publication is a subdivision of the Deseret News, a Salt Lake City newspaper owned by the church, and is its only outlet focused entirely on news coverage of church activities.
This platform is notable because it serves as the official source for news and announcements directly from the church leadership. It provides members and the public with authoritative information on church policies, events, and initiatives, distinguishing it from independent or secular news outlets that may also cover religious topics.
Recently, Church News has been actively reporting on significant policy changes within the church. Multiple news sources, including the publication itself, have covered the announcement that the age eligibility for sister missionaries has been lowered to 18. This change, implemented under the current church presidency, represents a major update to missionary service protocols and has generated widespread attention.
The coverage highlights the role of Church News in disseminating official announcements and providing context for such developments. Its reporting on this policy shift exemplifies its function as a primary channel for the church to communicate important updates to its global membership and interested observers.
