Longtime local arts reporter and WFYI journalist Jill Ditmire, whose work in local broadcast journalism included Curious Mix, Indiana Outdoors and The Good Life, has died. She was 56.
Ditmire s face and voice were a part of the lives of Midwest viewers and listeners for 25 years. She held many different roles, including anchor of WFYI s All Things Considered, reporter at almost every local Indianapolis television network news, producer and co-host of a range of Indiana public media programs, frequent freelance contributor to print publications, and a reporter and anchor at several radio stations. Ditmire brought both depth of knowledge and innovation to her work, assets that led to a series of social media videos that many WFYI audience members used to stay connected to and inspired by the arts, especially during COVID-19.
