We know that following the local news cycle can be difficult. To make it easier on you, we are providing a 5-minute review of yesterday’s headlines.

Feature Report:
In today’s feature report, WFHB News Director Kade Young spoke with Nir Menachemi, Director of Health Policy at the School of Public Health at IUPUI, about parent’s attitudes when it comes to vaccinating their children against Covid-19. We turn to Young for more.
Up next, we revisit a report we aired last week titled, “The Sunrise Movement Rises Over Bloomington.”
Sunrise Bloomington, a local subset of the nation-wide Sunrise Movement, recently made headlines for their calls for the Indiana University Foundation to divest from fossil fuels and reinvest in clean energy.
