Until recently, titled the Deseret News, the paper was first published on June 15, 1850.
Originally a weekly paper, the Deseret News became a semi-weekly in October, 1865 and was named the Deseret Evening News. That title was dropped in 1920. The paper began publishing daily in 1922 and included its first Sunday edition. The Sunday paper was published until 1952 when it was dropped upon the creation of the Newspaper Agency Corporation. Subscribers received a Sunday Tribune instead.
The newspaper moved to its current downtown location in 1997.
The DeseretMorningNews is a newspaper published in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is Utah's oldest continually published daily newspaper.
The DeseretMorningNews also publishes a weekly tabloid, the LDS Church News, which is included as a section in the newspaper and also distributed as a separate publication outside Utah.
The editorial tone of the DeseretMorningNews is usually described as moderate to conservative, and is often assumed to reflect the values of its owner, the LDS church.
