This used to be such a great newspaper - "The Newspaper Iowa Depends Upon". The entire state read it and had common information. With what you describe (I've been out of state for 40 years), it's no wonder so many good Iowans would vote for Donald Trump...they aren't being kept up to date on what that man says and has done! Also, I worked in collegiate athletics administration my entire career and it used to be that the local, major newspaper drove what local television news covered. If there was an expose in the morning paper, tv news had it that night. With the Register so weak, staffs so small (including investigative staffs), it's the wild west for corrupt pols and city officials as they seldom get held accountable. And Trump has convinced tens of millions that the media is crooked. Sigh!

👍Great column, and the comments certainly provide support for reinventing the Register for the digital age.
