WFHB News Correspondent Luke Janke speaks with community members about their thoughts on free speech. Then, following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, WFHB News Correspondent Catherine Terwilliger took to the streets of Bloomington to gather community reactions to the news.


Our fall news interns, Luke Janke and Catherine Terwilliger, joined last week’s live airing of BloomingOUT where they discussed what they learned from their first field reporting experience. We turn now to a portion of that discussion with BloomingOUT hosts Melanie Davis and Justin Robertson and local news interns Janke and Terwilliger on the WFHB Local News.


Now it’s time for your sports news briefing with WFHB Sports Correspondent Chase Dodson. That’s coming up next on the local news.
