Survivor: Romney

Published Aug 22 2007, 09:04 PM by David S. Bernstein

In tomorrow's issue of the Phoenix, my colleague Adam Reilly takes an interesting look at a few upcoming media releases that could affect the public's view of Mitt Romney -- including a couple of films based on events in Mormon history. Recent TV shows and books have also been discussed in the context of public perception of Mormonism.

Of course, a limited number of people really watch documentaries; on the other hand, "Survivor" still pulls upwards of 12 million viewers a week I believe.

So it must be of interest to Romney that one of the contestants in the new "Survivor: China" season, debuting September 20, is a Mormon.
