## Summary

The Deseret Book website is the primary consumer-facing presence for the publishing and retail arm of the Deseret Management Corporation. Bonneville International's website (bonneville.com) covers the radio and broadcasting operations. Together these sites describe the scope of the LDS Church's media holdings — publishing, retail, radio, and television — and serve as the primary public-facing presence for each property.

## Useful Claims

- Deseret Book's site presents a full retail and publishing catalog including Shadow Mountain titles, LDS devotional and doctrinal books, music, and children's content, with ~40 retail stores.
- Bonneville International's site (bonneville.com) lists ~20 radio stations across major US markets including Seattle, San Francisco, Phoenix, Denver, and Salt Lake City.
- KSL.com serves as the digital presence for KSL-TV (NBC affiliate, Salt Lake City) and KSL Radio — the dominant local news operation in Utah.
- Deseret Management Corporation's site (deseretmanagement.com) describes the Church's for-profit holding company structure and lists major portfolio entities including Deseret Book, Bonneville, and the Deseret News.
- The sites consistently reflect the Church's values framing without making explicit editorial statements about Church ownership or hierarchical oversight.

## Reliability Notes

These are official company and institutional sources. They are useful for confirming property counts, brand portfolio structure, and public-facing mission statements. They are not useful for understanding editorial constraints, internal Church-media governance, or the tension between institutional alignment and journalistic independence at KSL and the Deseret News — those questions require outside journalism and academic sources.
