Northern Indiana Media in the Spotlight
- By: GreatNews.Life
- Last Updated: July 2, 2025
Northern Indiana is packed with outstanding, talented journalists, and we here at GreatNews.Life have taken the opportunity to interview several of them to tell their stories – finding out who they are and what they contribute to the area outside of the news they report.
Being in the media business for 16 years, GreatNews.Life has had the opportunity to run along the sidelines and even be front and center of sporting events, city announcements, economic development planning, cancer awareness walks, groundbreakings, ribbon cuttings, heart-felt weddings, inspiring graduations, and the list goes on. We know what goes into telling Northern Indiana’s news, and the tremendous dedication it takes to making that happen. But we also know that no one is telling the stories of those who are doing the grit work – our local journalists, writers, photographers, videographers – the real people behind the words, cameras and public faces. We all read their columns, listen to their broadcasts, and follow them online. They are remarkable people and we think everyone should know about them. Join us as we capture the untold stories of local media personalities.
