Iowa’s electric cooperatives are committed to informing and educating the member-owners we serve through the publication of resources, including Living with Energy in Iowa magazine. The very first statewide electric cooperative publication in Iowa was an eight-page, large-format newspaper called Iowa Rural Electric Cooperative News, which was first sent to electric co-op members in 1948. After going through two name changes, the tabloid newspaper became a magazine-sized newspaper called Iowa Rural Electric News in July 1960. In that issue, editor David E. Bryant wrote the following, in part, to describe the purpose of the publication: " ... to help keep you informed on matters pertaining to your electric co-op ... and to provide how-to-do-it information and ideas which will help you make the most effective and efficient use of the electric power which you're purchasing through your electric co-op." Not surprisingly, we have those same goals today. Living with Energy in Iowa shows how electric cooperatives contribute to the local economic growth and betterment of their communities and how they work to provide safe, reliable and affordable electricity. The magazine also offers tips on reducing energy bills, making energy-smart purchases and planning energy-efficient remodeling projects. And, of course, every issue showcases recipes — many of them contributed by co-op members across the state.
