The Gazette strives to gather and share news using the best journalistic practices. We want to keep you informed and to make our region and state a better place.
Advances in technology and rise of social media has made it easier to publish information to broad audiences. Our goal is to provide relevant, accurate and timely information so that you know what’s happening and can make informed decisions.

A news story contains objective facts and does not take an opinion-based position on the facts. This does not mean there aren’t opinions in news stories. News stories often report newsworthy opinions of community leaders and members of the public because these opinions are often part of the news.
The Gazette has been informing Iowans with in-depth local news coverage and insightful analysis for over 140 years. Support our award-winning, independent journalism with a subscription today.
