  1. The media regard in Mormonism. Because Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is a member of LDS. Since his campaign started, the religion has been in the centre of the media. There are good and bad discussions about the religion on the media.

  2. I think that it is a miracle, that Mitt Romney became Republican presidential candidate. That fact brings a lot of attentions to the Church, and more people have more opportunities to learn about Mormonism. I suggest the Church should make a nationwide video to introduce our church. By doing this, the public will have a correct view of Mormons. Randy Lin

  3. This is a good thing because a lot people know nothing about LDS. Many potential voters don’t have trust in Mitt Romney because he is a Mormon.
    Media have a huge influence over public opinion. TV, Radio, Internet have always had a great effect in American society. But, in our time, social networks are the most powerful tool to influent in people, specially, in those without knowledge about political business

  4. The media regard in Mormonism. Republican presedential candidate Mitt Romney is a member of LDS. Since his campaign started, the media has been considered more about the religion. There are negative and possitive news about Mormon. If people use media in right way, the people will know about the religion better.

  5. I think it's a good thing. It's a chance people have to know more about the church.
    When we use media to let people know about our believes, or other subject that helps others to learn more about something, it's a good way to influence people.

  6. This article talk that the members of the LDS are involved with their religion, which mainly caused by the media and press.There are also some negative information and misunderstanding about the LDS. In my opinion, it is good to uncover the myth of the church by media and press, which attracted people's curious about LDS, and motivate people to research the truth. At the end, the real truth will be founded.So it is a good way.
