As John puts it, “It has become clear to me that now is the perfect time for me to turn a page in my career and do something new and different – something I have been thinking about doing for years.”
And so, John will be stepping away from the desk and the newsroom on Wednesday, July 24, and with a partner, he’ll be launching a new communications company, based locally. This move also allows John and his family to remain here in the area they have grown to love, Northeast Florida.

“John is a newsroom leader, a terrific journalist, and a cheerleader for our community. We will miss him but know his talents will be put to good use helping local people and businesses in his new venture,” News Director Jason Balthazar said.
