Who covers education in Indy?
Parents have to work to find information about schools
Choosing a school for your child’s education is probably one of the most important decisions parents have to make. If you’re interested in keeping track of how our schools are doing in and around Indianapolis, there isn’t a single go-to source for information. Indy newsrooms have carved out different areas of expertise and they supplement their reporting by collaborating with a three-person newsroom focused solely on education.
That leaves parents, students, and teachers to develop their own strategies to get their questions answered as they navigate Indy education news. It’s also challenging for area journalists and newsrooms, because education is a vast topic.
