Starting in mid-November, the print edition of
the paper will be published every two weeks. The page count will be up, with
more advertising. The paper will have more event recommendations and previews
and longer features in news, arts, food and entertainment, according to the
paper.
“While our overall readership has remained
consistent over the past three decades, the number of digital readers continues
to increase and print readers decrease, with a good number reading us both
online and in print,” said an explanation of the changes from Editor Laura
McPhee.
Recently the paper got a grant from the
Community Listening and Engagement Fund backed by The News Integrity
Initiative, The Democracy Fund, the Knight Foundation and the Lenfest Institute
for Journalism.
The paper used the grant funds to get two
platforms, Hearken and GroundSource, that “will help make our journalism more
public-powered,” according to the paper.
The paper dates to 1990. “We’re excited about
the future and how we will evolve in order to remain Indy’s best source for
local, independent journalism for decades to come,” McPhee wrote.
