John described his background that brought him to his decision to start the weekly publication, the Corridor Business Journal in 2004. He is proud of the publication that provides local and regional business news for 12,000-13,000 readers in the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids corridor area. The Corridor Business Journal also executes several events each year, and has published several custom publishing projects. The most recent publishing project is “Corridor Rising”. “Corridor Rising”, is a limited-edition hardcover collector’s book showcasing the devastation and renaissance of our region since the historic floods of 2008. A copy of Corridor Rising was generously made available for each Rotarian. Additional copies may be purchased at Prairie Lights Book Store.

 

After audience questions President Steve Quigley thanked John for his presentation.
