For the third consecutive year, WFYI was named “Station of Excellence” with a regional Emmy. Recognized by our peers as a leader in broadcasting, WFYI Public Media is also known by those we serve as a trusted source for balanced news and local reporting, a valued community partner, a strong advocate for education, and an innovator in quality programming.

Thank YOU for making this work possible. Your support of and commitment to WFYI helps further our ability to inform, impact, and inspire the people of central Indiana.

In �scal year 2014-15, we made great strides in bolstering the WFYI News Team. The station is already known for NPR news programs such as Morning Edition and All Things Considered. With the addition of more local reporters this year, WFYI is also gaining recognition for in-depth local news -— stories that go beyond the breaking news to uncover the deeper understandings behind the events of the day.

Also this year, WFYI was named the key partner in the health journalism collaborative, Side Effects, which reports on public health issues for public media stations across the country. Now, our WFYI reporters, as well as those at our partner stations, are often called upon to provide content that airs nationally on NPR.

More and more, WFYI is creating content for digital platforms. To meet people wherever they are, we continue to enhance our digital efforts on the web and on social platforms. This year we created our �rst digital-only offering

with Small Studio Sessions, an award-winning music series featuring mostly local bands performing in WFYI’s studio.

Beautiful arts programs, as well as highlights of our Hoosier heritage, continue to be hallmarks of WFYI’s production team, winners of 11 regional Emmys this year. Many of our local programs are in the process of being nationally distributed, and we expect that WFYI’s Time for Three with the Indianapolis Symphony will broadcast as an arts special across the PBS system later this spring.

WFYI Public Media has continued its work with the public media initiative, American Graduate: Let’s Make It Happen, helping to illuminate the problems and solutions of education in Indiana, as well as to inspire community members to help students stay on the path to graduation. Through hundreds of hours of TV and radio programming, public forums and trainings, and vital community partnerships, WFYI has used its media assets to improve the futures of Indiana students.

What a busy and ful�lling year! We are proud of WFYI’s work in central Indiana, and feel deeply committed to making this community a wonderful place to live, work and play. You —our individual members, volunteers, corporate sponsors, and community partners — are the vital link that keeps public media thriving here. Thank you for a great year!

May the year ahead be just as full of promise.

I o�en get unprompted feedback from people in the community who see how our relationships with organizations like WFYI are making our city and state be�er for all of us. To me, that’s the benefit in partnering with WFYI.”

“I’ve been volunteering for WFYI for the past 12 or 13 years. I volunteer because I enjoy the programming of WFYI and know it would not be possible without people getting involved. To me, part of being a consumer is also about keeping the station going. I graduated from DePauw, and at the time I was a student there, they had a very strong volunteer center that paired students with volunteer projects domestically or abroad. I saw how people came back from those volunteer trips different, wanting to change their future plans as a result. Volunteering is a good way to try new things and to meet new people. I encourage everyone to get involved in something. Giving back is an important way to support the community and to keep it a good place to live. WFYI has been a fun place to volunteer, and I have always felt I have something to contribute here.”
