I’m not going to redo my graphic from 2023 about newspaper frequency, but since the information that one line is inaccurate has come to light, I need to acknowledge it.
In May 2022, the Ames Tribune announced that at the end of June, publication of the print edition would be reduced to three times a week. This apparently did not and has not happened, at least through the time of this blog post. I e-mailed the Ames Public Library for confirmation and the library pointed me to a Newsbank site. That site lists the local articles on a given day, and those days are still six days a week (Mondays excepted), and that hasn’t been interrupted. For example, here’s Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2023 (“Iowa State’s Campbell accepts blame for Ohio loss”) and Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024 (“See where Iowa State stands in first College Football Playoff rankings).
That graphic will be getting a large update sometime before the end of March.
