"Life inside the home of novelist and naturalist Gene Stratton-Porter was anything but normal. Birds, butterflies and various other critters had free run of the entire 14-room cabin in Geneva, Indiana..."

"Janusz Korczak—the leader of an orphanage who went with his orphans to Treblinka—he was offered the opportunity to survive. Korczak was the equivalent of Mr. Rogers. Non-Jews flocked to hear his radio broadcast. Are we going to say that he went 'like sheep to the slaughter?'"

A large, jagged tone with a bouquet of 1 dozen red roses and 1 dozen white roses. The stone is engraved in Polish. It reads: "Janusz Korczak. Henryk Goldszmit. I Dzieci." English translation: "Janusz Korczak. Henryk Goldszmit. And children."

A bittersweet day as WTIU staff pose for the last time on the original INDIANA NEWSDESK set. 🎥 Don't worry—the show isn't going anywhere! While Studio 6 receives a much-deserved renovation, we are grateful to our crew (present and past) for maintaining this exact set for the last decade. 🛠

A photo of WTIU staff posing next to the INDIANA NEWSDESK set inside of TV Studio 6. Lighting hangs from metal beams in the ceiling. In the background, blue walls with the faint outline of the Indiana map create a backdrop for the set. Two tables - one round and one large desk - sit in front. Around 20 staff members surround the tables and smile at the camera.
