IBJ Podcast: IBJ’s editor on making mistakes, combatting bias, diversifying revenue

The Indianapolis Business Journal committed a serious error earlier this month that created significant problems for one of central Indiana’s most important not-for-profit organizations. In the interest of transparency, IBJ Editor Lesley Weidenbener explained in her latest column how the error occurred and how that affected the organization. The column opens a window to the workings of the IBJ newsroom and the potential for multiple editors to miss a red flag when moving quickly to break news.

For this week’s episode of the podcast, host Mason King recruited Weidenbener to throw open the curtains and give you an even broader look inside IBJ. In this week’s episode, she addresses the error, some of the questions posed regularly about IBJ’s financial health, and how its leaders maintain barriers between the newsroom, advertisers and the politics of IBJ’s owner and CEO.
