A veteran of more than 25 years in the Evansville market, John is recognized as the most experienced- and credible radio journalist in the area. That credibility has translated into more audience, revenue and recognition for our Morning Edition time slot, which John hosts.
This entry will show the depth and calm confidence of a veteran reporter who still enjoys his craft. From daily reporting to his whimsical look at the last days of a local miniature golf business, John tells the story of his home city like no one else can. Given the opportunity to report internationally in an exchange program with Ukrainian journalists, John’s style and writing ability are prominently displayed.
Looking at John’s body of work in 2016, there is a mix of reporting on high profile, national political candidates, important severe weather coverage and solid news of the day coverage. While some of John’s reporting involves straight facts and information, when the opportunity for a sound rich piece infused with humanity presents itself, John produces meaningful, relatable coverage.
You will notice how, in contrast to less experienced reporters, John is always able to offer the history and context of stories. He relates the local impact of news in meaningful ways because he is talking to the people he knows best.
