About Carmel City News Feed
Welcome to Carmel City News Feed, your trusted source for news, stories, and information dedicated exclusively to the community of Carmel, Indiana.
Our Story
Carmel City News Feed was founded in 2022 by a group of longtime residents who saw a growing need for a dedicated local news source. As our city continued to evolve and expand, we felt that the unique stories, decisions, and achievements of Carmel deserved a platform focused solely on their impact here at home. We launched to fill that gap—to provide a digital home for the news that matters most to our neighbors, from the corridors of City Hall to the playing fields of our schools.

We strive to provide accurate, timely, and relevant reporting that helps you understand the issues shaping our city. By sharing stories of people, places, and events, we aim to connect residents across neighborhoods.
