In a media release, Verum announced that it is using the grant from Campus Progress, a division of the Center for American Progress, to expand its resources in Iowa City and transition to a totally digital product readable on computer and tablet.
by University of Iowa students, Verum Magazine is intended to provide coverage on fashion, sports, music, politics and other topics that a college-aged audience will be interested in.
