Isaac Russell was an unusually gifted New York City newspaper reporter and editor, muckraking journalist, public relations maven, intellectual, and historian who just happened to be a Mormon born and raised in Utah. Russell straddled the two worlds of big-city journalism and Mormondom, succeeding in a national market at the same time defending the church and culture of his youth. For a period of time, during most of the 1910s and again briefly in the 1920s, he was secretly assigned by the Church's president to protect and improve the Church's public image by responding to media attacks and publishing positive stories about the Church, its leaders, and its members. He fulfilled his assignment brilliantly. [From the article]
