If you don't subscribe to the Indianapolis Star, you are missing the most well-rounded news in the…read moreIndy Metro area. I recently subscribed to the digital Star which is very reasonable and sustainable. I particularly like the digital paper because they update with new stories in real time throughout the day. And I can read anywhere on my phone or tablet. The reporters seem to engage in provocative stories with impact, not the fluff we get from local TV media. During the Covid-19 pandemic, they reported on the issues at nursing homes and became advocates for the residents. They also did a series of stories of the victims of the pandemic which celebrated their lives and brought meaning to the numbers. I have been remarkably moved by these stories. Today, they had a story about a day in the pandemic at Methodist Hospital which was eye opening and well balanced. The photography is outstanding as well and often the digital articles are supplemented with a video story. If you watch a news conference in Indianapolis, the Star reporters are asking the tough questions. On the lighter side, the digital issue connects to the puzzles in USA Today. I find the puzzles fun and good for my mental health. There are a broad assortment of word, number and game puzzles to choose from. I spend way too much time doing the puzzles! Of course there is a section devoted to sports which I check periodically. There are some interesting people stories from time to time. The paper was running a three month special for $1/month to get new paper or digital subscribers. Then digital goes up to about $10 per month and paper goes up higher. This is a great deal to read first hand local stories. Indianapolis is fortunate to still have a paper. I will continue to support. You should too.

One my biggest obsessions is the Indianapolis Monthly email newsletters. My personal favorites are…read more"The Dish," which features dining and foodie news, and "The Buzz," which highlights what's new on the IM website. IM highlights local restaurants and events and takes you behind-the-scenes. Whenever I get one of those emails, I inevitably end up clicking on nearly every article - most recently, I enjoyed learning about Jim Walker and Big Car's Spark Monument Circle initiative and exploring an interactive webpage featuring Hoosier authors. Sign up today because it's FREE and awesome content delivered to ya weekly. As far as the printed magazine, frankly it's just chock full of ads and you can find the same stories online. I recommend subscribing to the newsletters and following them on social media instead.

I really like their enewsletters, which come twice a day and keep me updated on local business news... between it and the Indy Star newsletters, I feel like I get a pretty comprehensive overview of local happenings each day. While I'm not a regular subscriber to the print edition, I do appreciate the smaller size of it because it is easier to hold and read than a standard size newspaper. Also, I think they do a really nice job with the page layouts - they also seem clean and crisp.

Really... if you want to know what's poppin in Indy, this is where it's at.read more

Nuvo is a great alternative news source. They are a constant thorn in the side of the status quo…read more They are a business though, so I always wonder where their motivation lies. Whether you want a restaurant to eat at or a massage with a happy ending, Nuvo will help you find it. They are the best source for the local night life scene. I've been a reader for over 15 years and I appreciate their "critical thinker" view on topics instead of the usual crap from the Indianapolis Star. Jennifer says there is free candy in the lobby, so I'm gonna have to stop by!
