Special Edition

We couldn’t do what we love without our audience, so here’s a little something extra for your weekend — from how you can help fill our cup to how we’re filling yours with our feature on new + coming soon restaurants around Indianapolis.

☕ Local media runs on you

We receive hundreds of thank you notes and kind messages every week. | Gif my 6AM City

Each day, we write the INDYtoday newsletter with one goal: to help you better connect with your community. And each day, our friends across the US, from Seattle to Tampa Bay, do the same.

Here at 6AM City, we know the value of investing in local media. It keeps neighbors connected and the community informed. We’re invested in improving how you experience Indianapolis, like what events to attend + the latest city initiatives and developments to keep an eye on — all in our free newsletter. How is that sustainable, you might ask?

We partner with national brands and some of Indianapolis’ best organizations + businesses that support our mission of bringing only good news to your inbox, but efforts don’t stop there. Over the next six days, we’re running a reader-driven campaign to help sustain the continuation of what we do best.

We’re committed to keeping our newsletter in front of a paywall, because the truth is, we thrive on our love for the local community, whether it’s:

Curating news for every Hoosier | Like this feature on the 2026 budget and this one about Irvington’s spooky annual festival
Helping you plan for major events | From festival coverage to our INDYtoday Events section filled with the most-anticipated events in Indianapolis
Maintaining our credibility + trust | Fun fact: Our company has turned down more than a million dollars in political ads since we started

If INDYtoday has had a meaningful impact on the way you live life in Indianapolis, like it has for us, we’d love to have your support. Think of it as buying us a coffee to help keep the good news coming.
