The agreement between powerhouse media organizations in Indianapolis will put the award-winning “Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick” program on WTTV-TV (CBS4) on Sunday mornings.
The list, available at Indiana250.com, was compiled by the executives, editors and newsroom staffs at IBJ Media’s three news brands—Indianapolis Business Journal, Inside INdiana Business and Indiana Lawyer—after a monthslong process that included reviewing nominations, researching Indiana organizations and interviewing community leaders across the state.
IBJ’s top honor came in the “best editorial” category for an editorial headlined “Where’s the real punishment for FBI officials in Nassar case” published on July 23, 2021, and written by Managing Editor Greg Weaver.
IBJ’s sister publication, Indiana Lawyer, won eight awards, including six written in whole or part by reporter Marilyn Odendahl.
“After Hours” will be written by veteran pop culture reporter Dave Lindquist, who joined IBJ in October to cover the arts, restaurants and retail.
IBJ Media CEO and co-owner Nate Feltman said the acquisition fulfills two goals he’s had since becoming an owner of IBJ Media in 2017: expanding coverage statewide and moving into video and TV.

IBJ Publisher Nate Feltman said the podcast is an effort to contribute to a larger community conversation about diversity.
IBJ competes in the largest publication category against business journals in Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Dallas and other major cities.
IBJ, which competes in the largest category for newspapers and online news categories, won awards for its 2020 coverage of the environment, government and politics, and the pandemic and health.
IBJ Media CEO Nate Feltman said he’s confident that under Andrews’ leadership, The Indiana Lawyer “will become an even more essential read for the legal community and beyond. We have the opportunity to become much more relevant both in central Indiana and statewide.”
You can also pre-register for IBJ’s NCAA bracket contest, where you can try to out-pick a number of local celebrities we’ll unveil in the coming weeks (including IBJ’s own “celebrities”—think Eight@8’s Mason King and CEO Nate Feltman).
Stories with some connection to the pandemic dominated the list, but the top story was actually about Cracker Barrel’s move to open a “ghost kitchen” pilot in Indianapolis.
The change comes as IBJ has experienced a surge in readership—despite challenges in the newspaper industry overall—breaking a record this month for subscriptions that had been set in 2001.
Artificial intelligence, data analysis tools and other digital technology will revolutionize manufacturing and companies need to get ready for it, said panelists at an IBJ/Conexus Indiana industry event Friday.
Plus, Feltman provides an update on how IBJ is doing during the pandemic and what he sees as the news organization’s future.
The judges commended IBJ’s “expansive content that reaches into the corners of transportation, technology, sports, health, higher education, civic affairs, state government and more.”
The change conveys “an essential and shared sense of history, identity and community among people who identify as Black, including those in the African diaspora and within Africa,” an AP official said Friday.
The Indiana Lawyer, which is also published by IBJ Media, won six awards, including first place honors in six categories.
Michael Maurer and Bob Schloss, who have owned IBJ Media since 1990, have reduced their ownership stakes to 25% apiece.
