IU released its operating budget today, three months after it was passed by trustees. It's important to consider that funding groups are flexible, and what looks like a gain or a loss could just be changes in organizational structure. WFIU/WTIU News budu.iu.edu/reports/obud25…

Heading to the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, where officials plan to execute Roy Ward sometime after midnight. This will be the 11th execution I've covered since moving to Indiana in 2020.

I want to thank Vice President JD Vance J.D. Vance for visiting Indiana and taking the time to meet with me today. I appreciated the thoughtful discussion about how our state is serving Hoosiers through common-sense and strong leadership. We discussed redistricting and the importance of ensuring

Legislators arrive back at the Statehouse after meeting with Vice President JD Vance Here’s what Sen. Rod Bray had to say to reporters about the meeting: IndyStar

Indiana University fired professor Jim Rodenbush allegedly for refusing to censor the @IDSnews student paper. Admin ordered students to strip everything “but homecoming info” from a recent edition, but Rodenbush upheld the First Amendment, a decision FIRE fully supports.

A developing story in Bloomington. The 1st Amendment has been under attack at the national level this year, but there’s a similar battle at the local level. Report from my former colleague Ethan Sandweiss ipm.org/news/2025-10-1…

yeah dude, more like 'wrong side of media delivery.' A *printed* college paper whose team of Woodward and Bernsteins couldn't get more than four editions out this year continue the paper online. I'm sure none of the student body has phone.

The Purdue Exponent’s “Operation Clandestine Delivery” was a success! We delivered special edition Exponents to the IU campus after the University admin there canceled @IDSnews print editions. Student journalism solidarity. 👊🏼

I love spunky college journalists ready to fight back. I’m a Hoosier, newly elected national Society of Professional Journalists VP and here to help ✊🗞️
