Exactly- a newspaper is framing the narrative and it has a financial stake in that narrative being believed. That simply isnt good journalism.

More info on IR and RAGBRAI came out today- stories about both.
I eagerly await a detailed response from Gannett/Register reps about donations as advertised. They are a private company so there is almost 0 chance they release the expenses, but based on the statement that they basically can improve on what they give back to communities, it isnt difficult to interpret what that really means.
