Welcome back to another week of the business news headlines and stick around and click through for an interesting conversation about the world of print magazines. Think print is dead? Not so fast. But, first the news and this is what we've got for you:
- Two words troubled Wall Street;

- He says he uses a Tesla to mine for crypto;

That is the story behind Little Village a magazine that's been around for twenty years in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids, Iowa area and is now expanding into the Des Moines market.
