Russell began his newspaper career in 1965, sweeping floors and cleaning toilets in the offices of his parents’ weekly paper in Blackduck , Minn. He was later promoted to hot lead melter on the Linotype machine and eventually ran several presses including a Heidelberg, AB Dick Offset and a Goss press.
Seeing his potential, his parents added sales calls to his duties at the age of 16.
After college, he joined Tuff Publications, where he served as sales manager in Blue Earth, Minn. In 1989, Tuff Publications moved to Collier County, where Russell served as publisher of the Everglades Echo, the Golden Gate Gazette and several other Florida publications, prior to taking his position with the Citizen.
