Free Press Indiana is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization (EIN: 92-2211924) dedicated to ensuring all Hoosiers have access to the news and information they need.

We were initially formed in 2021 as a steering committee that included local journalism experts, community leaders, and business professionals who worked with the American Journalism Project to conduct a comprehensive statewide research study on news access and coverage in Indiana. That data showcased the need for a local news organization that was big enough to add a large amount of original, local reporting and information, in a way that is relevant and accessible to residents, and that supports the changing local media ecosystem, as well as the people who are working to serve their communities every day.

Our core focus strategies include:

• Fill gaps by creating new, independent newsrooms with innovative community journalism programs;
• Facilitate investment in partner news organizations to strengthen their news and their impact;
• Foster collaboration with a growing list of local news partners to amplify quality, independent journalism for all Hoosiers, especially underserved communities.
