What is the news saying in Indianapolis?

Volume, tone and category mix of news attention on Indianapolis.

Summary

The city's news mood is hard-edged: 46% of coverage reads negative. Yet the latest movement is mixed rather than uniformly bleak—crime attention is down, while governance, healthcare, policing, protests and infrastructure are up. Indianapolis feels busy, contested and institutionally active, not simply in decline.

WATCH Watch whether rising governance and healthcare attention starts to soften the overall tone.
