Let’s get right to the point: We are proud to deliver free, relevant local news that you look forward to each morning. Ourreaders’ dedication + engagement allows us to do what we love, and we want to say thank you.

As you can imagine, it takes work to make this happen. A lot of behind-the-scenes effort goes into making sure we keep you up to date with everything going on in our community. Long story short: It’s not an easy task, but it’s one we love doing.

We believe access to important local information should be free for all… that means no pay walls, and we intend to keep it that way.

By becoming a INDYtoday member, you’ll secure a member-exclusive Shoutout (150 characters in our newsletter) in 2023 and have access to additional benefits, including new features as they roll out in the coming months.

Here are some Shoutout ideas:

An endearing note to your significant other (an early Valentine’s Day surprise, perhaps?)
Information about an upcoming event (calling all community leaders — this one’s for you)
Celebrate a friend (we’re thinking a birthday or congratulations on a new job)

Join our membership program today to snag your Shoutout.

-Nicole Hernandez, Anna Bowman, and the INDYtoday team
