Indiana Lawyer to become supplement to Indy Biz Journal

The Indiana Lawyer will end its 36-year run as a standalone print publication this month to become a supplement inside Indianapolis Business Journal’s weekly edition.

Dave Lindquist of the Business Journal writes, “IBJ Media CEO Nate Feltman announced the change Thursday, saying it will allow The Indiana Lawyer’s coverage of courts, bar associations, law firms, legal aid, law schools and state government to reach more readers on a more frequent basis.

“Feltman said the stand-alone print edition of The Indiana Lawyer, which is part of the IBJ Media newsroom that includes IBJ and Inside INdiana Business, serves less than 20% of the number of print subscribers compared with IBJ.

“‘By integrating The Indiana Lawyer into IBJ’s print edition, we significantly expand the audience for its reporting and commentary while adding meaningful value for IBJ subscribers,’ Feltman writes in a column scheduled to appear in Friday’s print edition of IBJ.”
