IBJ reporter Susan Orr and Managing Editor Greg Weaver each won two awards at the Best of Indiana Journalism Awards, hosted by the Indiana Professional Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.
Digital advertising has plummeted this year, cutting into the profitability of major tech companies from Google to Facebook. Waves of layoffs have rolled through the tech industry and more are expected.
A new year is always a good time to make a change, not just personally but at work as well. And so we are making a few tweaks to IBJ.
Former reporter Brandon Perry will lead newspaper that’s one of the longest-running Black publications in the United States.
The layoffs are the latest sign of the unrelentingly tough times in the newspaper industry, which has been steadily shrinking for more than a decade as more advertising shifts from print to digital and readers turn to other online outlets for information.
IBJ’s sister publication, Indiana Lawyer, won eight awards, including six written in whole or part by reporter Marilyn Odendahl.
Krift joined the Star in February 2021 as news director. He previously led the Montgomery Advertiser as executive editor and held leadership responsibilities for newsrooms across Alabama and Louisiana.
Though the proposal’s main objective was to rescue small papers hit hard by the pandemic, should the tax break become law, Gannett, one of the nation’s largest remaining newspaper chains, could gain as much as $127.5 million over five years.
The Star’s investment on a single story was especially astonishing at a time when local and regional newspapers around the country have faced shrinking ad revenue or hedge-fund takeovers, some of them closing altogether.

Nate Feltman, co-owner and CEO of IBJ Media, will move back into the role of publisher of the legal news organization.
The sale, announced Wednesday, will give Paxton about 120 publications in 14 states, including 20 in Kentucky and 18 in Indiana.
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.”
The decision comes as newspaper and broadcasting industries say they need the changes to deal with growing competition from the internet and cable companies.
The measure aims to give publishers better leverage with the tech companies, while only allowing coordination that benefits the news industry as a whole, amid a long-running decline in local news.
Coverage from Selection Sunday on March 14 to the championship April 5 should bring an enormous payoff to Indiana, which will host all 67 games, and to Indianapolis specifically, which will host 55 of them.
House Bill 1498 would allow local governments and other public bodies, such as school boards, airport authorities and local commissions, to publish legal notices online instead of in local newspapers, which is currently required by law.
Greg Weaver’s responsibilities in the IBJ newsroom’s No. 2 leadership position will include coordinating its daily news coverage and e-newsletters, handling social media accounts and editing stories for the weekly print edition.
