The producers of Indiana Week in Review have officially agreed to include a Libertarian panelist in their regular rotation. This inclusion of a broader range of perspectives strengthens our public discourse and I am deeply grateful for the 224 people who helped demonstrate the need for this change. We will …
We, citizens of the State of Indiana concerned with proper media coverage and access to information regarding all political candidates, petition to have a Libertarian Party representative added to the regular panelists on Indiana Week in Review.
The Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the State of Indiana, and the only party other than the Republicans and Democrats with guaranteed ballot access. Indiana Week in Review is a statewide political issues show on Public Broadcasting. It is imperative that IWIR does not intentionally hinder the voice of the Libertarian Party by failing to offer them a seat in their publicly broadcast political discussion.
By adding my name to this petition, I request that the producers of Indiana Week in Review extend an invitation to add a member of the Libertarian Party as a regular weekly panelist on their show.
Reflecting on the conversations sparked by this effort, it is clear that many people value a more diverse range of perspectives in our public discussions. I am currently working to open a direct line of communication with the producers to discuss why this inclusion is essential for the health of our local discourse.

Reaching this current level of support demonstrates a genuine desire among Hoosiers for a more comprehensive dialogue on public media. It is encouraging to see so many people recognize that our political discussions are enriched when a broader range of perspectives is included at the table.

I typically identify more with Democrats than with Libertarians. That being said, any voice, ANY VOICE that can represent another viewpoint on this terribly biased show is welcome. I'm tired of seeing the republicans on the show disrespect Ann while the "moderator" (who so obviously is Republican) just laughs. Disgusting. Please, get another panelist on this show.

Get someone on there who actually questions the status quo. IWIR is so stale.

About time. It is basically a republican vs democrat bickering session every Friday night. Boring.

The statehouse coverage is just a echo chamber for the two main parties. Time for some fresh perspectives on the panel.

ANOTHER LIBERTARIAN VOICE IS NEEDED ASAP. The bias is so obvious it hurts to watch.

Sick of the same old tired arguments. Give us a real choice and let the libertarians speak.
