Des Moines Tribune Ends After Final Press Run
The Des Moines Tribune published its last edition with the banner So Long Its Been Good to Know You and merged with the morning Register due to shrinking profits. About 180 of 1,030 employees lost their jobs, and the combined paper will begin with an initial circulation of 248,000. The final issue reflected on the paper’s history and featured a tribute to the staff.
