FairMormon’s Front Page News Review provides context and analysis of the past week’s media coverage of Mormons and the LDS church. Hosted by Nick Galieti and manager of the FairMormon Front Page news service, Cassandra Hedelius.

What we present is not to be understood as being the official position of FairMormon or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We speak for ourselves, and sometimes not even then.

FairMormon Front Page News Review is a weekly show where host Nick Galieti, and Cassandra Hedelius offer commentary and perspective on the top stories of the previous week’s news about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or issues surrounding its culture and membership.

Over time the show will evolve and improve based on your feedback, so please, speak your mind, let us know what we are doing well, and what needs to change.
