John Rothwell currently resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he is a freelance photojournalist and reporter. In December of 2017, he finished his Communications Degree at Grand Valley State University and is currently working on adding a second degree in Multimedia Journalism. In addition to his academic work, he contributes photos, photo essays and local news coverage to The Rapidian, a hyperlocal citizen journalism platform, powered by the people of Grand Rapids.
John believes that everyone has a story to tell and that their story needs to be told in a medium that best suits the situation, either in photos, video, audio, word or a combination of all. People must be informed on events happening in and around their lives. There is a need for people to have their voices heard and the stories they share to be documented.
