Excerpt: This is a list of newspapers in Iowa. Adair County Free Press - Greenfield Ida County Courier Fairfield Ledger - Fairfield Opinion Tribune Osceola County Gazette Tribune Frequency Circulation The Des Moines Register is the daily morning newspaper of Des Moines, Iowa. A separate edition of the Register is sold throughout much of Iowa. The first newspaper in Des Moines, the Iowa Star, was founded in 1849. In 1855, the Iowa Citizen began publication; it was renamed the Iowa State Register in 1860. In 1902, the Register merged with the Des Moines Leader, a descendant of the Star, to become the Des Moines Register and Leader.
