The newspaper, once a premier daily in the Great Plains states, has eroded considerably since it evolved from conservative to "middle-of-the-road" to mildly left wing to radical left.
It used to cover seven states; now it covers only the western third of Iowa and the eastern third of Nebraska.
It endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden this year, but it has been endorsing Democrats since the early 1980s.
