Where to Find Crawfordsville, Indiana News

Updated

The Journal Review (journalreview.com) is the primary local news source for Crawfordsville, Indiana, and the surrounding Montgomery County area. It covers local government, schools, public records, business news, sports, obituaries, opinion, and community announcements. Some content sits behind a subscription, so you may need to log in or subscribe to read certain articles.

What the Journal Review Covers

The site organizes coverage into several sections, each with a distinct focus:

Section What you'll find
News Local News, Public Record, Montgomery County 4-H Fair, Business
Lifestyle Clubs, Health, Church, School, Entertainment, and milestone announcements
Obituaries Local death notices and memorials
Opinion Columnists, Letters to the Editor, Editorial Cartoons
Sports Coverage of area high school and college teams
Marketplace Classifieds, print ads, and special sections

If you're looking for a specific type of story—say, a government decision or a school event—the News and Lifestyle sections are the most likely starting points.

Local Sports Coverage

Sports reporting focuses on these teams:

  • Crawfordsville Athenians
  • North Montgomery Chargers
  • Southmont Mounties
  • Fountain Central Mustangs
  • Wabash College Little Giants

There's also a Senior Spotlight feature for standout athletes. If you follow a particular school's team, these are the labels to look for when scanning headlines.

Community Announcements and Milestones

The Lifestyle section handles personal and community news, including:

  • Bundle of Joy – birth announcements
  • Marking Milestones – birthdays
  • Newlyweds / Tying The Knot – wedding and engagement announcements
  • Clubs, health, church, school, and entertainment news

These run alongside standard news coverage, so community updates and personal milestones appear in the same general area of the site.

How to Submit News or Announcements

The Journal Review accepts submissions through dedicated forms. Available submission types include:

  • Anniversary form
  • Birth announcement
  • Engagement form
  • Wedding announcement
  • Obituaries
  • Letters to the Editor
  • News tips (Submit News)

There are also service forms for practical matters: Change of Address, Delivery Issues, and Vacation Stop. If you have a story idea or a milestone to share, these forms are the route to get it published.

Subscription and Access

The site shows a Subscribe option and a Log in link in its navigation. Several content areas are labeled as premium, including sections for pets, money, home, food, seniors, and health news. That means some articles require a subscription or login to read in full. If you hit a paywall on a story you need, check whether a free preview or alternate section covers the same topic before subscribing.

Other Ways to Stay Informed

Beyond the website, the Journal Review offers:

  • E-Editions – digital replicas of the print paper
  • Special Sections – themed or seasonal content collections
  • Calendar – local events
  • Realty – property-related listings

These are useful if you prefer a print-style reading experience or want to browse by category rather than by headline.
