US EditionLakeshore Public Media Laying Off Staff After Unexpected State Budget Cuts
INDIANA, JUL 8 – Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations will eliminate its eight-person statewide reporting team due to a $3.675 million state funding cut, impacting news coverage for 95% of Hoosiers, officials said.
- Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations announced this week it will eliminate its entire statewide team of reporters and editors by year's end.
- Following the Indiana General Assembly's April decision to cut $7.4 million in public media funding due to lower-than-expected revenue, IPBS announced it will eliminate its statewide reporting team by year's end.
- IPBS's eight-person statewide team relied on nearly a third of its $13 million budget from government support, with federal funding proposed for elimination by the Trump administration.
- IPBS's reorganization, due to state funding cuts, will rely more on local stations, creating major statewide coverage gaps by year's end.
- More broadly, Indiana faces a growing crisis in local journalism, with the state joining at least five others in cutting public media support, raising concerns over expanding news deserts.
