Since that time, if I remember correctly, this paper lost nearly 9/10ths of it's local subscribers. Luckily though, about half of those subscriptions were made up by interested people from outside the community. This leaves the owner/editor in a tight situation. He's not sure what to do with the paper, last I heard on an Air America interview.
If anyone wants to help out, check out a subscription for the Iconoclast at http://www.iconoclast-texas.com/default.htm

Atomic, I don't recall the exact Air America show this interview was on. I think it was on Unfiltered a few days ago, but I would need to listen to the archives to be sure.
Anyway, they interviewed the publisher/editor W. Leon Smith. He stated that his subscriber base was somewhere around 950. Many of those folks may be from nearby communities. Plus, Mr. Smith stated that he guessed he only had about one hundred of his local subscribers left. The rest were new subscriptions that brought the subscriber base back up to about 450.
He, also, mentioned that local businesses would no longer allow him to sell his paper at their news stands, though he still has a few in the city of Waco and elsewhere.
Finally, the man owns another paper in another town, Clifton, Tx.,which I believe he is the mayor of. Here's an old story I just found about this guy...
