Before coming to Knoxville, John reported across Oregon, the U.S.,
Canada, and the Middle East, including winning an Emmy for a documentary
chronicling his embed in Iraq. For two consecutive years, John reported
and produced special projects that won the Oregon Association of
Broadcasters' award for "Best Single News Story."
Amy Nolan, Editor, Greater Knoxville Business Journal - Amy joined the
News Sentinel in 1985, covering the criminal justice system and twice
winning Tennessee's Malcolm Law Award for Investigative Reporting. She

before returning to the News Sentinel as editor of the Greater Knoxville
Business Journal.
