What news sources for Iowa do you keep up with? reasons you don't follow certain news sources?

Especially smaller or less widely known sources.

Down here in the SE corner, our closest TV stations are KYOU out of Ottumwa and KTVO out of Kirksville. KTVO is Sinclair-owned and has the production quality of a junior high AV club. KYOU is marginally better. But it's all we got, so meh.

Paper-wise, the Ottumwa Courier is decent. Not a lot of content though. They have a hard time getting reporters to stick around.

I used to read the DSM Register, but it seems like it's more of a Des Moines local anymore. Not a lot from around the state. (Which, it's a paper in Des Moines, that would make sense.)

I pretty much just read the local weekly and browse around otherwise. Not much I want to keep up on. I want to be completely oblivious and in the sticks.
