Keeping busy, curious Hoosiers in the know
In a busy world where many Hoosiers don’t have the bandwidth to track multiple news sources, The Lens offers a trusted, one-stop roundup of the most engaging and essential reporting from Indiana.
It is designed to empower Hoosiers with in-depth, actionable reporting on the issues shaping life in Indiana while aiding FPI is fostering collaboration with other news gathering partners in the local ecosystem.
Each Thursday afternoon, The Lens will cover topics from agriculture and housing to education and health care, delivering the essential context and insights readers need to make informed decisions and stay engaged with their communities.
Each week, the FPI editorial team will highlight stories and content from across Indiana - including media published by our growing list of 75+ partners. The Lens will also showcase the work of Ashley C. Ford, our first statewide reporter who covers the lives of women and girls in our state. When relevant for a broader, statewide audience, we'll also republish content from our first newsroom Mirror Indy - which covers the greater Indianapolis area.
No. The Lens will always be free to read, though some stories will be behind a paywall - per the discretion of each news entity.
While our team will make every effort to ensure all content in The Lens is free and easily accessible - on occasion, there will be stories we feel are important for you to know about that happen to be published by a news partner who utilizes a paid subscription model.
We want to make sure every resident of Indiana has the local news they need.
