Since then, we've produced a photo page every Sunday. And all of them have been full color doubletrucks that are 100% ad free (hope I didn't jinx myself!). We've told stories of athletes and artists, friendship and family, hope and humanity, and so much more.

Our first issue highlighted the 2021 NCAA tournament, which was held entirely in Indiana. The page — a full color doubletruck — was a success, highlighting the incredible visual prowess of this team.

The first order of business was to come up with a name for the page. I'm sure I had plenty of time to think on it, but it felt like I had 15 minutes. I landed on IN Focus, as it is a visual spot for INdiana images.

There was some conversation as to what it might look like. It might be a full color doubletruck some weeks. Other times it might be a single black and white page. But there would always be some space dedicated to visual display in the Sunday paper.

🧵🧵In 2021, was talking about adding some print pages to our Sunday section. I probably looked like an excited toddler, ready to jump to pitch the idea of adding a weekly photo page. Luckily for me, our editor had the same idea.

I don't care.
