The ISSA has existed as an organization since the late 1940s, annually presenting
a Sportswriter and Sportscaster of the Year award and honoring those who practice
our profession with excellence.
Since 1996, the centerpiece of the calendar has been the annual Hall of Fame Banquet,
which takes place each April in Indianapolis. Each year, we honor several of the
legends of Indiana sports journalism at the banquet, both with Hall of Fame inductions as
well as the traditional presentation of the Marv Bates Indiana Sportscaster of the Year and
Corky Lamm Indiana Sportswriter of the Year Awards.
We strive to build community and bring honor to our profession. We will also be planning other events during the year. This site is
intended to be a "destination" for Indiana sports journalists, with community
through the message board, information through the jobs board and also several
helpful links and databases.
It costs $15 per year to join the association. To find out how to join, please click
the "email" link on the left toolbar.
