Chazz reveals ‘My 3 Words’ for 2026!

It usually takes me quite a few weeks to come up with “My 3 Words” for the new year. This time, it only took me a few moments. Perhaps that’s because I’ve been doing this a few years now. Or maybe I just have more of a sense of the direction I want my journey to go in next year.
That’s what the three words are mostly for. Something to guide you.

JR staff members share their favorite Christmas traditions

Your Journal-Record staff members took a few moments out of their busy holiday print schedule to share a few of their favorite holiday traditions, both new and old, for readers to enjoy. We hope you have time to slow down for a few moments amidst your own holiday bustle and sip a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and savor these shares, and possibly recall a few of your own favorite childhood traditions or find some inspiration for new ones.

Chazz: Thankful for 10 years in journalism

A couple of weeks ago, I reached my 10-year milestone in journalism. I am truly grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to work here at the Journal-Record for a stint of eight years, followed by another run of two years.
The people in Marion County are one of the best parts about this job. There are so many amazing, gifted, sharing and caring individuals who work here, live here, operate businesses here and are the backbones of the organizations that help support the communities.
