Meet IndyStar digital content producer Madyson Crane

It takes a staff of dedicated journalists to bring you the news from around Central Indiana. In this feature, the Indianapolis Star introduces readers to our newsroom staff — or, rather, we let them introduce themselves. Up this week is Madyson Crane. Alternative forms digital content producer August 2024 Getting to highlight my favorite random finds in the city I grew up in! A new week always holds something different. I have always been told that I bring people together and have a great network. When I lost my job at the beginning of 2024 I wasnt sure what to do, so I just started capturing my life. Turns out, that is a lot of what journalism is! Finding the interesting or important things happening in your community and sharing them is the role of a journalist. So it was only fitting that when this position was created I applied to integrate my unique skill set and perspective to the Star's impressive coverage. And the rest is history! I love a good-priced margarita, and there is a little hole-in-the-wall spot in Plainfield called Iguana's that I can never get enough of! I work out five days a week, stick to my routines (which me saying will probably make most of those who know me laugh), and unplug. I have a horrible habit of not looking away from a screen for hours so some forced unplugged time is amazing for destressing. I have been watching "The Nanny" for the first time all the way through. "Push past your limits." — Captain Yami of the Black Bulls from Black Clover, the anime Whenever I think something is difficult or I am struggling, this genuinely gets me through it. Remembering where I came from, where I used to think I could only ever dream of reaching, only inspires me to keep going and not to give up. Anything Meg Thee Stallion! "Let them choke." I used to struggle (and still very much do) with my confidence and I would mask my personality to blend in with the room. That did nothing for me but make me seem fake and disingenious. I was easy to swallow. Now no matter the situation I stay true to who I am and not what would make myself palatable for others. I don't care if people choke on me, I'm a lot to swallow! I love all animals! I have both a dog and a cat. Freya is the first official IndyStar rePAWter. I sailed for almost 10 years and can still fully rig a Flying Scott by myself.
