We couldn’t resist seeing the IABJ team reimagined by the viral caricature trend.

It’s a fun picture, but it comes at a serious time. With the recent news about Don Lemon and the pressure on journalists right now, it’s easy to feel discouraged. That’s why we wanted to share this. To remind everyone that behind every story you read, there’s a human being.

We are neighbors, friends, and truth-tellers. We support each other through the fun trends and the hard news cycles. If you’re a Black Journalist in Indianapolis feeling the weight of this week, know that you have a home base here.

How is everyone holding up this week? Let’s check in.
