INDIANAPOLIS — IBJ Media Co. announced Friday that Olivia Covington has been promoted to editor of The Indiana Lawyer.
Covington, 27, who joined The Lawyer in 2016 as a reporter, moves up from managing editor, a job she held for more than three years. She is a former reporter for The Republic in Columbus.
Nate Feltman, co-owner and CEO of IBJ Media, will move back into the role of publisher of The Indiana Lawyer.
Feltman called Covington “a proven journalist” who has been a positive and creative leader at The Lawyer. He said she’s well positioned to help “refresh” the news organization by rethinking its mission and analyzing the best way to serve subscribers.
The Lawyer, launched in 1990, covers the Indiana legal community, courts and judicial opinions in an every-other-week newspaper and daily at TheIndianaLawyer.com and through email newsletters. The Lawyer has about 5,500 subscribers, a number that has been growing since it instituted a paywall last year that limits the number of stories readers can access without a subscription.
