Update: A reader, citing this Wikipedia entry, says the Des Moines Register has won 15 Pulitzers. Now, that must be the most of any GCI paper, no?
When Corporate told publishers they were free to sell ads on the front page, the Courier went whole-hog. (Love that local autonomy!) The banner ad along the bottom rises up into the far-right news column; now that's advertising creep. The newspaper's website, like a growing number in Gannett, has even more jarring advertising.
