John Joslyn Honored by Springfield Press
(Video Produced by Darin Codon 2007)John Joslyn is a living museum of mass media. The era of with Joslyn's innovation and contribution to journalism marks behemoth production resources that will never be seen again.
The Springfield Business Journal recently honored Joslyn noting he's one of 12 people you need to know.
The video was one of three originally shot at Music City Center several years ago, a venue which will feature performances by the Osmond Family during Branson's 2010 tourist season.
Back in the day, journalists could dive into the deep pockets of media companies to accurately and thoroughly investigate stories.
Some of the investigative journalism projects Joslyn was involved in are epically noted in media history. The television penetration near the 1980's onset of cable into US houses enabled production budgets of a proportion not dreamed of today.
He was with Jeralso during the opening of Capone's vault and under the sea with the Titanic.
Less well known is Joslyn's investigation to the murder of a Kennedy....

China's Official Communist Press Brags - China has taken over the White House (Theater in Branson, MO)
The official Chinese government's communist press made an announcement last week boasting they've taken over the White House, "not in Washington D.C. but in Branson, Missouri."
According to the Chinese Press, the White House theater was purchased by a company titled China Heaven Creation International Preforming Arts Company. The release noted the White House Theater Deal was worth 3.54 million marking the first time a Chinese company has ever purchased a theater in the United States.
The parent company, China Travel International Investment Hong Kong Limited,, previously owned a $100 million theme park in Florida which flopped, eventually closing after a ten year run from 1993-2003.
The first show, "The Legend of KungFu" will open on May 1st at the theater whose design replicates the White House and prior to the purchase featured patriotic shows. The facade and photos of American Presidents will remain in the entryway of the theater.

Pete Newman, former Kanakuk Counselor, Faces New Charges In Colorado For inappropriate Relations with a Child
Former Kanakuk Counselor Pete Newman was arrested yesterday as he re-appeared in Taney County for a change of venue motion.
The Taney County change of venue motion will likely move the case to Christian County. Taney County Prosecutor Jeff Merrell said Newman's motion will most likely succeed due to the fact Taney County has less than 75,000 residents.
Newman was out on bail as new charges were filed in Durango, Colorado. Newman was arrested on four charges filed in Colorado, three for 2nd Degree Sexual Assault with a child and one as an out-of-state fugitive.
According to Taney County Jail records, Newman was detained at 10:00 A.M. yesterday, January 20th 2010.
Newman is scheduled to re-appear on the 4th of February in Taney County and it's unclear how the new charges filed in Colorado will affect the case or whether Newman will fight extradition.
Newman was initially arrested after files were charged by the Taney County Prosecutor's Ofiice in September of last year. After being re-arrested for failure to appear (Newman showed up a few minutes late for court which irritaed Judge Tony Williams) Newman was released on bail a second time after spending a few hours in jail.
Kanakuk Camps recently reorganized as a non-profit and succesfully recieved a tax waiver from Taney County last month. Some of the property is currently owned by founder Joe White.
