We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of Indianapolis news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.

This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The Indianapolis Post is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of Indianapolis.

We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For an Indianapolis weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the Indianapolis Post is for you.

Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories.
