Here's a quote from the article, Mormonism 101: FAQ, that sticks out to me.
...Journalists should be aware of some common pitfalls. For instance, reporters pressed for time tend to take peripheral aspects of the faith and place them front and center as if they were vital tenets of belief. Additionally, sincere commentators often overemphasize what others see as “different” about Latter-day Saints at the expense of highlighting the Church’s most fundamental doctrines in their reporting. Unfortunately, as many members attest, this kind of journalism paints a distorted picture of the Church and continues to confuse the public.I learned some statistics I didn't know from this! But the core message is something I do know: "We're not trying to hide who we are. Anyone who cares to honestly look into what we believe has everything right in the open. Just ask!"
