From the editor: We'll celebrate America's 250 years together

Local newspapers including the Independent Tribune, The Times of Northwest Indiana, and The Nonpareil will highlight Indiana's and Iowa's roles in America's 250th anniversary from April–June, culminating with a late June special section.
As part of that mission, newsrooms say their series reflects a commitment to quality journalism and the 'rough draft of history' tradition to record local contributions.
Publishing monthly features from April to June, the series will share profiles and historic front pages on nwi.com, with reporters, editors and photographers producing a special late‑June print and online section.
Local coverage will dig into moments that shaped Indiana and current issues, while editors pair historic front pages and photos with modern archives to preserve local records.
Invoking a long tradition, The Nonpareil, The Times of Northwest Indiana, and Independent Tribune cite the journalism phrase 'rough draft of history' to spotlight Amelia Bloomer and Grenville Dodge.
