    • Arts

It seems like no matter what news outlet you tune into, today's media is full of anger, fear and division. John Garrett had a different vision. The belief that everyone—not just the insiders—should know what is happening in their own backyard prompted him to leave news company giants and start his own news organization. John and his wife Jennifer launched the first edition of Community Impact Newspaper in 2005 serving as Co-CEOs.

Community Impact has changed the way we connect, hear and share stories locally in Austin and beyond. In his own words, the company strives to "be a light" in times that are frequently dark. His story is full of vision, wisdom and community connection.
