I think the Gazette is in trouble. A few years ago, the famous "newspaper Iowa depends on" decided to go small on their coverage/ distrubution outside of the "Golden Circle." Seems the Gazette is now doing the same thing. Their news coverage doesn't go beyond the Linn-Johnson county lines, and their sports coverage is local HS and Hawks. Their current excuse is high priced newsprint. The Register said mailing costs--whatever. Advertising pays the way, and if you give up circulation, you lose advertising $$. I think this applies to the Big 10 network also. Their advertising income must be near $0.00
