Mormons and the Media, 1898–2003

A Selected, Annotated, and Indexed Bibliography
(with Suggestions for Future Research)

Bibliography

By Sherry P. Baker, Daniel Stout,

Print, electronic, and other forms of communications media have been consistently perceived and characterized by leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as tools to assist in spreading the gospel message throughout the world. President Spencer W. Kimball said, “Technology will help spread the gospel. . . . We shall use the inventions the Lord has given us to awaken interest and acquaint people of the world with [gospel] truths.”¹ More recently, President Gordon B. Hinckley said, “The Lord has inspired skilled men and women in developing new technologies which we can use to our great advantage in moving forward this sacred work.”²

Given this perspective, the Church from its earliest days has used various forms of media as vehicles of communication. It has produced or been affiliated with the production of numerous newspapers and magazines in the United States and in several countries worldwide. In the twentieth century, the Church embraced electronic media technologies promptly. “Music and the Spoken Word from Temple Square,” on the air since 1925, is the “longest running continuous program in the history of United States network radio.”³ General conference has been broadcast on radio since 1924, on television since 1949, and via the Internet since 1999. The Church’s official web site (www.lds.org) was launched in 1996, and the Church’s tremendously popular genealogy web site, FamilySearch (www.familysearch.org), was launched in 1999. In June 2000, all of the articles printed in English in Church magazines since 1971 were placed on www.lds.org where they could be viewed without charge by anyone with Internet access.⁴

While the Church has sent messages through various media, its organization, leaders, members, and culture have been the subjects of innumerable newspaper and magazine articles; radio, movie, and television stories; books; and Internet sites. This bibliography brings together writing and research documenting the ways that the Church has participated in the media over the years and the ways that it and its members have been portrayed by the media over time.

The Bibliography

Our goal as mass communications scholars was to compile a bibliography of academic scholarship completed to date about issues relating to Mormons and the media. The bibliography provides interested readers with an annotated list of academic studies of Mormons and media communications from 1898 to early 2003. The works, which are cited and indexed, identify both those questions that already have been addressed by scholars and many questions yet to be adequately explored. Each entry’s abstract provides information beyond titles, authors, and dates and should be useful to scholars compiling a literature review on focused topics.

We hope that the bibliography will increase awareness of and encourage the production of relevant research and perhaps, in time, contribute to a more substantive discourse on the role of media in a number of Latter-day Saint forums from classroom to family.

Criteria for Inclusion. The primary criteria for inclusion in the bibliography are that entries be works (1) of academic scholarship and (2) about the mass media and Mormons and/or the Church. With a few early exceptions, the bibliography specifically excludes popular publications or Church media publications, such as Church magazines. The term “media” is interpreted broadly to include many forms of mediated communications. Studies of Mormon-related literature generally are not included, nor are studies of stage plays and other performing arts. Many studies of other scholarly topics relating to Mormons have relied in part on media sources in their citations but are not included here because the focus of this bibliography is specifically on studies of Mormons and media-related subjects and issues. Note, however, that we have also included several references to other bibliographies relating generally to Mormon studies. These are included to assist scholars in finding other relevant works not specifically listed here.

Possible Omissions. While this is a selected bibliography, we fear we inadvertently have overlooked important works about Mormons and the media. We invite readers to contact us about appropriate missing works that should be added to the bibliography and about new works as they are published. The bibliography will be posted online at the BYU Department of Communications web site (www.comms
.byu.edu) under authors’ names and will be updated periodically.

Organization and Analysis. The bibliography is organized chronologically by decade, then chronologically by year within each decade, and finally alphabetically by author’s name for each year. The chronological presentation is helpful in visualizing the growth and shifting emphasis in scholarship relating to Mormons and the media over time, both in terms of the topics studied and of the number of studies in each decade (see table 1). We have also included lists of the works by author and by subject to further aid in searching the bibliography.

Trends in Academic Studies on Mormons and the Media

Analysis of the bibliography from a chronological perspective suggests five trends of academic studies regarding Mormons and the media. The trends are not exclusive to specific time periods; rather, they are cumulative in that each includes the focus of past studies but represents the introduction of a new focus (new topic, subject, unit of analysis) on academic studies of Mormons and the media.

Bibliographic Era (1890–1910). Little research was conducted by scholars about the media between 1890 and 1910. The term “mass media” was yet to join the American vernacular, radio and film were in early development, and television had not yet emerged.

Nevertheless, as the nineteenth century drew to a close, the steady flow of Church information products resulted in some systematic listings of media sources. Berrian (1898) published a catalogue of books, newspapers, and pamphlets treating Mormon topics. In 1909 a similar resource was created by the New York Public Library (“List of Works” 1909), which followed a bibliography of anti-Mormon works (“Pamphlets” 1906).

Print History (1911–50). During the first half of the twentieth century, much was being written about Mormons in newspapers and other periodicals. Studies of this media coverage, as well as of the nineteenth-century press as it related to Mormons, began to emerge. Media research of this period consists mainly of descriptions and analyses of the Mormon press and coverage in the secular press. Histories of the Deseret News (Penrose 1912), Latter-day Saint periodical literature (Smith 1921), the “Latter-day Saint press” (Merrill 1930), and the press in Illinois (Snider 1933) reflect an emerging belief that print media history broadens understanding of the larger question of how Mormons struggled to integrate with the larger society.

In this period, the fundamental idea emerged that significant historical events in Church history can be explained partly in terms of mass media. Banks (1950), for example, posits that the martyrdom of Joseph Smith was related to suppression of the Nauvoo Expositor. An earlier study by Mulder (1947) suggests that Nordic-language newspapers in Utah encouraged assimilation to both Mormonism and Americanism. Clark (1944) explores the idea that knowledge about “mental contacts” between Mormons and non-Mormons can be expanded through the study of newspapers, and Wolsey’s master’s thesis at Northwestern University contends that the growth of the Church is partly related to radio broadcasting (Wolsey 1949). This Wolsey thesis is the first broadcast-related (rather than print-related) entry in the bibliography.

Press Relations and Cultural Acceptance (1951–60). While histories of newspapers and studies of periodicals continue in the 1950s, the phenomenon of public relations first appears during this period. Research on public relations coincides with the increased use of mass media in missionary work as well as the favorable relationship between President David O. McKay and the press.

Press relations and cultural acceptance studies work from the basic assumption of the power of the media to influence public opinion. The studies (such as Ward’s 1959 study of Mormons in textbooks and Morris’s 1958 analysis of references to Mormonism in general magazines) examine how mediated messages portray Mormons and how mass media can better establish a favorable image for the Church and attract converts. Jeppson (1955), for example, analyzes press relations of a Latter-day Saint mission in France, and in an “information survey” Mullen (1957) makes recommendations for improving Church public relations.

It is also during this period that media content analysis is first used to determine attitudes toward Mormonism. Sostrum (1960) attributes a favorable shift in “Gentile attitudes” to changes in images of Mormons in periodicals.

Interdisciplinary Studies (1961–90). Between 1961 and 1990, media research expands dramatically, in terms of both the number of studies and the number of research questions addressed (175 entries appear in this time period, compared with 32 entries for the thirty years preceding it). As the Church passed through the turbulent political climate of the 1960s and 1970s and as the number of Mormons and Mormon scholars increased, researchers addressed the topic of mass media and Mormons from a variety of new perspectives. A wide range of disciplines including law, the humanities, economics, music, film, broadcast, sociology, and women’s studies was applied to the study of Mormons and media, both in historical and contemporary contexts.

Mormon Audience Analysis (1991–2000). Prior to 1990, research focused primarily on mediated messages. These studies assume that the content of television programs, movies, newspaper articles, and so on held the key to understanding media effects (such as public attitudes toward Mormons). During the last decade of the twentieth century, however, the unit of analysis began to shift from media content to audience members, and studies on Mormon audience analysis began to emerge (see Hinch 1990). These studies assume that the most revealing sources of information about media and its effects are audience members themselves. Instead of relying on descriptions of media content to speculate about the effects of media on audiences, audience researchers ask, How do Mormons describe their media-related experiences in their own words? A number of studies (Stout 1994; Valenti and Stout 1996; Stout, Scott, and Martin 1996) reveal considerable diversity in media use among Mormons. Other recent studies also explore the factors contributing to media selection by Mormon audiences (see Wilson 1997, and Simmons 2002).

Church Members and Mass Media

There is an emerging interest in the ways that Mormons use and make meaning of the media in their personal lives. This interest essentially is the study of the effects of mass media on Mormon readers, listeners, and viewers. There also is a growing interest in the relationship between Mormons and the media. Leaders within the Church increasingly are concerned about media effects, and numerous sermons and articles on the subject continue to be delivered in general conference and to appear in Church publications.⁵ In addition to these warnings about the media, however, there also are invitations to enjoy mass media that educate and uplift.⁶ Latter-day Saint ambivalence toward the media underscores the importance of research about media use and media literacy in Mormon culture.

David Whittaker, librarian of the Mormon collection in Brigham Young University’s Harold B. Lee Library, has issued a call to scholars to study books and other printed materials in order to explain and understand the Mormon experience. People become part of a web of community in which they find their identities by means of what they read, he says.⁷ The same can be said about other media of mass communications. We can better understand individuals and their cultures and communities when we discover what media they consume(d) because, in part, it gives us insight into the “information environment,” “the various levels of discourse at work in any given culture,” and the kinds of knowledge that were and are available to them.⁸ Whittaker suggests that to understand historical Mormon culture, we need to draw out the full meaning of how works were “received, understood, and used” by members.⁹ Again, this can be said of contemporary culture as well and of Church members’ consumption and use of all types of mass media.

Suggestions for Future Research

Beyond listing academic resources, this bibliography reflects the values, priorities, and debates of a subculture. These data can be studied from several perspectives.

The bibliography might be conceptualized and discussed by using basic communications models as tools of analysis. Lasswell, for example, describes the central question in communications research in a five-questions model: “Who says what in which channel to whom with what effect?”¹⁰ Similarly, Wilbur Schramm (often deemed to be the founder of the Weld of communications) describes the elements of the communications process in what is sometimes called the (simplified) SMCR model: source (the originator or sender of the communication), message (the content of the communication), channel (the particular medium used to convey the message, such as newspaper, radio, or Internet), and receiver (the destination of the communication: the readers, listeners, and viewers).¹¹

Many of the studies of Mormons and the media listed in this bibliography focus on the source (such as studies of particular newspapers and editors), and there are several studies on channels (such as studies of radio, film, and television). There are far fewer on receivers, inviting further research.

While all of the elements of the basic communications models are represented in the bibliography, studies of Mormons and the media have emphasized the “message” over the other elements identified by the five-questions and the SMCR models. That is, content-centered studies, such as how Mormons are portrayed in media, outnumber those focusing on source, channel, receiver, and effects. Given the pervasive role of media in contemporary society, additional audience and effects research will be needed. What media do Mormons consume and why? How do Mormons throughout the world use the media? How does their media use conform to Church admonitions? How do Mormons negotiate issues relating to religious teachings in a secular media context? What is the role of the media in Mormon religious life? How do audiences outside the Church interpret and make use of Church-produced media?

The questions suggested by the basic communications models (and those addressed by many of the studies in the bibliography) often are somewhat narrow in scope. There is a need in studying Mormons and the media to address broader topics, such as those suggested by contemporary communications scholarship using cultural and critical approaches. Such studies might explore, for example, family rules, rituals, and cultures surrounding media; media-related meaning-making by Mormons (epistemological issues); the power and influence implications of media ownership by the Church; Mormon gender studies, ethnic studies, and minority studies in relationship to the media and broader cultures and subcultures; Mormons in larger cultural contexts (in the various international cultures in which they live) as represented in the media and as influenced by local and international media; comparative studies of Mormons and media in various cultural settings; questions about Mormons and popular culture; and engagement with philosophical and ontological questions about mass communications arising from the unique perspective of Latter-day Saint theology, foundational Latter-day Saint texts, and prophetic commentary.

Despite its already heavy representation in the bibliography, the study of mediated images of Mormons remains an important topic for future study. People form opinions about Mormons based on information available from a multiplicity of sources. As the Church grows, so will depictions of Mormons in a variety of media. Analyses of these portrayals in all forms of media (including the Internet) may allow better prediction as to how the Church will be accommodated by the larger society.

The bibliography is heavy on studies of print media, but thin on studies of Mormons and broadcast media. Such studies might include, for example, personalities, content, production organizations, institutional uses of broadcast media, Mormon audience uses of broadcast media, and broadcast media effects.

There is scant research about Church magazines. The magazines, their readers, their content, their impact, and their contribution to Mormon culture remain a vast potential Weld of inquiry.

The comprehensive history of the Church’s efforts to influence media coverage through its public affairs activities has yet to be written. These efforts have been both centralized and regionalized. Both levels need further study and analysis.

The bibliography focuses heavily on Utah-based media. More studies are needed on all aspects of Mormons and the media nationwide and, especially, worldwide.

The Internet and its relationship to Mormons, the Church, and Mormon/non-Mormon interaction is ripe for study from the perspectives of institutional uses, member uses, nonmember uses of official Mormon sites, anti-Mormon sites, content studies, impact/effect studies, and historical studies.

Arguably, the preponderance of rhetoric in the Church about media revolves around its use by youth and the potential negative effects and dangers of that use. It is surprising, therefore, that there are so few studies that specifically explore Mormon youth media use, the role of media in the lives of contemporary Mormon youths, meaning-making of media content, effects of media use, and the impact of media on Mormon youth culture.

Finally, the works represented in this bibliography largely are atheoretical. The literature has not begun to address questions that relate to theory, such as the ways in which the study of Mormons and the media is informed by theory and the ways in which theory might be informed by scholarship in this Weld.

Conclusion

The relationship between media and Mormon culture has not been fully studied. The reasons are unclear. What is quite certain, however, is that this type of research will be in high demand in the future. We are hopeful that this bibliography, which organizes relevant literature into a foundation for future study, will facilitate and accelerate such research efforts.

5. A Relief Society lesson addresses “the power of the media.” “The Powerful Influence of the Media,” Come unto Me: Relief Society Personal Study Guide (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1991), 194–99. Soap opera and other daytime viewing is discouraged in an article appearing in the Ensign. Kelly Strong Thacker, “TV Free: Giving Up the Daytime Habit,” Ensign 21 (July 1991): 29–31. Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles has devoted entire conference talks to the potentially harmful effects of television on Mormon audiences and to encouraging the production of positive media and mitigating negative media effects on families and Mormon audiences in general. M. Russell Ballard, “The Effects of Television,” Ensign 19 (May 1989): 78–81; and M. Russell Ballard, “Let Our Voices Be Heard,” Ensign 33 (November 2003): 16–19.

6. Gordon B. Hinckley points out a number of benefits of magazines, movies, and television programs: “Let there be good magazines about the house, those which are produced by the Church and by others, which will stimulate their thoughts to ennobling concepts. Let them read a good family newspaper that they may know what is going on in the world. . . . When there is a good show in town, go to the theater as a family. Your patronage will give encouragement to those who wish to produce this type of entertainment. And use that most remarkable of all tools of communication, television, to enrich their lives.” Gordon B. Hinckley, “Opposing Evil,” Ensign 5 (November 1975): 39.
