Demise of newspapers, internships for students with disabilities, living Christmas Trees | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

What happens when private equity firms swoop in and buy up local newspapers? In southern Indiana, it has meant staff cuts and shuttered newsrooms. Ahead, we’ll talk about the effect the sales have had on local media.

A program established through Ezkenazi Health connects students with disabilities to full-time, paid internships in Indianapolis. More than 200 students have received internships through the program.

And we talk with a garden expert about the benefits of buying living Christmas Trees.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
