Perhaps I am wrong on when the news story broke, but I don't think it was emphasized more in Utah than elsewhre in the country. I believe the story was genuinely covered nationwide because the Church's service was so extensive it truly made a big difference.

The only thing that made the media in the southwest (where I live) is all the volunteers that helped out not anything specifically identifying the church. I learned about it only in the Church News.
