Publisher of The Mining Journal to retire at the end of the week

After 42 years of being in the newspaper business, Publisher and General Manager of The Mining Journal, Jim Reevs, is retiring at the end of this week.

Out of Reevs' 42-year career, 27 years have been spent at The Mining Journal in Marquette.

"When this opportunity came up, it was a larger paper than the papers I was with in Wisconsin, so that gave me the opportunity to come here and I thought I was going to the top of the world, but it turned out to be a very good place, obviously, to be able to stay here for 27 years," Reevs said.
