John Tyson covers Rural Nevada like no one else can. As a veteran reporter for News Channel 8, John has spent close to two decades driving an average of 3000 miles a month searching for stories that reflect the best of Nevada true character. Viewers will recognize the native Pennsylvanian from his special reports, "John Tyson's Journal."

John is a Vietnam veteran and recently retired from the Nevada National Guard. His Air Force career has spanned more than 40 years.

Despite a recent battle with cancer, John is still following his dreams by searching out the best of Nevada for News Channel 8.

When not on the road with his "Journal," you will most likely find John, in Ely, where he can be found running engines #40 and #93 on the Nevada Northern Railway.

A former resident of Virginia City, John now lives in Genoa, Nevada.
