Back in 1948, the Church News still believed the teachings of the prophets.
The article below discusses the archaeological evidence that corroborates what Joseph, Oliver and their successors taught about the Hill Cumorah in New York. See, e.g., Oliver's account here:
In our day, the Church News never publishes articles that explain and corroborate the teachings of the prophets about Cumorah.
New and young Latter-day Saints never hear about this evidence because they get their information about the Book of Mormon from scholars at BYU, Scripture Central, FAIRLDS, etc., who promote the Mesoamerican/Two-Cumorahs theory (M2C), which claims the prophets were wrong about Cumorah.
And yet there is plenty of evidence that corroborates the teachings of the prophets. The Church News article from October 1948 shares some examples.
