  • I work at the grocery store and on the back of the paper it says Tribune company, not "Gannett" company. (Tribune has been working on buying up newspapers) I'll check again tonight before editing though, and get the ISSN while I'm at it. Evilpiratethief (talk) 22:37, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whats with the pic of 9-11? Thats not necessary and normally the register looks nothing like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.89.161 (talkcontribs)
  • Why no mention of the two paperboys kidnapped in the 1980's. It should be here, I would write it myself if I had better details.—Preceding unsigned comment added by RBLakes (talkcontribs) 11:58, 28 April 2007

The circulation figures are wildly inflated. The Register reported it's own circulation figures in an October 27, 2009 article, with a link here, http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20091027/BUSINESS/910270358/Newspaper-circulation-falls--including-at-Register, and they self report a daily circulation figure of 118,054 and a Sunday circulation of 204,926. That compares to their 1984 numbers of 263,671 and 375,356. It's also inflated by the fact that they give away free through the mail an unknown number of copies. It's also inflated by the numerous papers they've bought and then claimed that papers circulation figures for the Register. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.25.240.217 (talk) 02:18, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
