As a simple person with rather low expectations I had to cancel my subscription of the Register several years ago through no fault of the Register. It was a circulation problem, delivery not dependable when there was home delivery, then getting it at post office box, no mail delivery in my small town, to postal holiday closures, it was not worth the hassle.

I still miss the paper on which Iowa depended.

Glad to see this article and the link to the Nieman study. I have to say any company that thinks they are going to run a newspaper enterprise with a 50 percent profit margin or whatever is deluding itself. This has me more convinced than ever that non-profit is the way to go with proper community journalism. As for financially supporting journalism, if I'm going to do that, I'd prefer my dollars go to you and/or the Iowa Writer's Collective than Gannett.
