“We aim for Truth. We settle for accuracy.” "John Corapi from the TGI NOW Podcast, featured on Indian River Connections, sits down with Thomas Kenny, also known as Thomas Augustus, the founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Sunshine Journal. In this episode, Thomas discusses his company's recent acquisition of Indian River News and shares what readers can expect from The Sunshine Journal, a growing independent media outlet.

Don’t miss this engaging discussion between John and Thomas on Indian River Connections. The Sunshine Journal was founded in December 2023 as an online digital media platform dedicated to covering local news on the Treasure Coast.
