JULIEN'S JOURNAL. Local monthly magazine featuring positive news and history about Dubuque and its citizens. The magazine debuted in February 1976, with a limited, free circulation to five thousand carefully chosen homes. The initial sixteen-page publication more than doubled in size but retained its focus on news about Dubuque and its heritage. Edited and published by Marie UDULUTCH, the magazine was available through subscription or on local newsstands. In 1976 Julien's Journal received an award from the Iowa Arts Council for its coverage of the arts.

In 2008 Julien’s Journal was published by J.D. Communications, Inc., David Wm. RUSK, President. The magazine continued to be a monthly publication featuring entertaining and informative areas promoting the Dubuque area, its institutions, and its people. The readership was conservatively estimated at 40,000 monthly including paid subscriptions and vendor sales.

In 2010 David Wm. Rusk died. The Rusk family, former publishers of the Julien's Journal announced the transition of ownership to Gina Siegert, the assistant publisher and creative director of the magazine.

Siegert was a graduate of Iowa State University and had more than twenty-five years of publishing experience in Chicago, Minneapolis and western Wisconsin.

Julien's Journal was scheduled to celebrate its 35th anniversary in February 2011.

The 1985 Dubuque City Directory listed 1250 Iowa.

The 1987 Dubuque City Directory listed 711 Cycare Plaza.
