MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN INDIANA
A defining feature of this Midwestern newspaper market is its steady transition from historic family ownership to widespread corporate consolidation. The Gannett-owned Indianapolis Star dominates statewide circulation and regional reporting. In the northern industrial corridor, Lee Enterprises operates the high-circulation Times of Northwest Indiana, while the South Bend Tribune and the Evansville Courier & Press serve their respective border regions under Gannett ownership. Maintaining rare local independence, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette remains a family-owned daily. Serving the African American community since 1895, the Indianapolis Recorder stands out as one of the nation's oldest continuously published legacy weeklies.
