Indianapolis Biz Journal hires Hays as news editor

Holly Hays

The Indianapolis Business Journal has hired Holly V. Hays as its news editor.

Hays is currently at the Indianapolis Star covering pop culture and entertainment — both how it enriches our lives and the ways Hoosiers have shaped it.

She has covered a variety of topics since joining IndyStar in 2016, including public safety, child welfare and city government. A Bloomington townie, Hays got her start working at the Herald-Times when she was 15 and has worked in news in some capacity ever since.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism and Spanish from IU Bloomington and a master’s in philanthropic studies from the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at IU Indianapolis.
