“The good news for [Des Moines] Register staffers:
Never have they been more indispensable. At a time of extraordinary interest in
the presidency and national politics, the big game is once again being played
in their own backyard, and by more players than ever before. There will be no
story more important . . . — to Iowans and Americans, to Register
editors and Gannett executives — than Trump’s fight for reelection, and the
Democrats’ attempt to stop him. . . .
“The bad news: Never has the future looked so bleak.”
—Tim Alberta, chief political correspondent, “Inside
the Shrinking Newsroom of the Paper That Shapes the Primaries,” Politico,
April 19, 2019.
