Indianapolis Biz Journal hires new reporter

Lindsey Erdody

Lindsey Erdody has been hired at the Indianapolis Business Journal to tackle the “North of 96th” beat, covering the new and ongoing developments in the fastest growing part of Indiana.

Since graduating from the Indiana University School of Journalism in May 2012, the Michigan native has spent time at The Arizona Republic in Phoenix, The State Journal in Frankfort, Kentucky and The Herald-Times in Bloomington.

She’s covered courts, cops and government at every level and helped start the Govtracker blog during her time at the H-T.

Erdody follows Jared Council, who joined the paper in September 2014.

A graduate of Hampton University in Virginia, Council began his reporting career in 2010 at the Evansville Courier & Press.

Prior to IBJ, he spent about two years at Inside Business in Norfolk, Va., where he won a Virginia Press Association investigative reporting award for a story on the infighting behind the ouster of Norfolk State University’s president.
