A familiar name returns

Welcome back Deseret News!! It's nice to be able to say just "Deseret News" and be politically correct rather than "Deseret Morning News". Great move!!

I guess the next change will be:

D News!

Just kidding ... I love your site and the paper too.

Growing up in SLC in the 80s and 90s, we all called it the D News - sort of like D Will. Anyway, I think the symbolism of this change as outline by Mr. Cannon is important.

I like the change.

I think my great great grandpa would be pleased, too. I mean, he started this thing and the name followed the schedule.

Well, as my mother would have said, "Glory Be!"

What wll they think of next but changes are sometimes good but not this one ,I like the DMN (Deseret Moning News) addition the best,

Thank you for changing in it back.I have always liked reading the Deseret News and now I can just say Deseret News like I always have. Thank you again for going back to a trusted name.

With all that is going on in the world, this is something that merits a small story, perhaps at the bottom of page 1 of the Utah section, but NOT a full-blown editorial. A little better perspective in the paper's editorial decisions would be much appreciated.

I've never changed from referring to the newspaper as the "Deseret News."

What's the difference? No matter the name, the content will be the same: Dull, nonsense and every little crumb about the owner. Thank god for the NYTimes, which never changes its name.

Glad to have the old name back.

Now, if you could dump the liberal bias from the editorial page (and staff) and get somehat close to being a balanced perspective that would be even better. Having a distinctly conservative slant would better reflect Utah values and allow readers a real choice.

Salt Lake already suffers from one hyper-liberal rag, and there is no need to try to imitate them.

As for the NY Times? Their name has not changed but their content has become totally biased liberal garbage. Not just on the editorial page, but throughout. Their circulation and advertising are plummeting, and their credibility is a joke among those who pay attention to multiple news sources. Hardly a role model for any newspaper expecting to exist a decade from now.

The D-News and liberal in the same post.

Next you'll try and tell us Dick Harmon is a Ute fan.

Why waste your time??

I like the short ans simple DesNews, partly because if you slur a little it sounds like Da Snooze.

When are you going to go back to delivering the paper to the front porch, instead of the gutter in the street? That was the biggest mistake the company ever made.

A very stupid move.

well it is a lot easier to say than my hometown newspaper ... The Seattle-Post Intelligencer!

I felt it was an error to make the change in the beginning and I am happy that you have corrected that error. Change for change's sake is not always better

Glad to see the Deseret News recognized their strategic error and changed back to the well-branded name. Deseret Morning News never quite rolled off the tongue too easily. It never felt right, and, strategically, it never made sense in a the world of instantaneous web news and an ever decreasing print circulation.

Wow! Just how old are you, John? I was a Deseret News paper boy in the seventies and only a select few customers got their paper on the porch. Hint: tip well and you'll get it on the porch again!
