I am sure they will return to their days of actual journalism and not what they currently do. Clickbait USA Today articles. A reporter creeping out the most popular female athlete. Reporting news that was reported by actual local news outlets days or weeks in advance. Or lastly, the cool stories about old bean farmers that made a layup one time in a high school basketball game. The Star is a shell of itself and terrible overall.
Funny but accurate. We can only hope of a return, or at least a reinvention, but Gannett is too big and hard to trust.
I recall sitting with Ryan Martin in the Neidhammer in early Apr. ’19 explaining the decades-old crime gang run by IMPD relatives. Cops + drugs + whores. 2 months later I sent a reminder about journalism. Ryan: “I’ve been busy.” Which frustrated me. So Martin simply quashed it & covered it up. Thee worst scandal – ongoing btw – in Naptown in many many decades, covered up by Ryan Martin. He deserves and award for that too, huh.
How that began:
Martin, Ryan

to me
Hello, Gary — My name is Ryan Martin and I’m a reporter for The Indianapolis Star. I’m emailing you because you’re listed as the main contact for the Robson-Voorhees Neighborhood Association. I’m involved in a yearlong reporting project that may be of interest to you and your neighborhood group.
It would be interesting to know the number of journalists 25 years ago at The Indianapolis Star vs. today at IndyStar. I would guess they are currently at no more than 20 percent of the numbers from the old days.
