"Covering Iowa chronicles the guiding principles that shaped the history of the Des Moines Register and Tribune Company for 150 years. This engaging narrative focuses on three interrelated elements: the newspaper's content, including news coverage, special features, and editorial positions; the firm's physical plant and changes in production technologies; and managerial practices that led to the R&T's successes and failures as an economic enterprise."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
