WFHB Local News – September 11th, 2025
This is the WFHB Local News for Thursday, September 11th, 2025.
In today’s feature report, WFHB Correspondent Katrine Bruner has a feature on the Spotted Lanternfly. More in today’s feature report.
That’s Brea from Exodus Refugee Immigration. The Indiana attorney general is demanding Exodus cooperate with an investigation into complaints from ICE that Exodus is making immigration arrests more difficult. We’ll hear from Exodus and other organizations tabling at the recent Student Involvement Fair later in the show in a feature report.
But first, this message:
IU Political Science Professor Jeff Isaac joins the WFHB Local News to discuss how to support the station during our Fall Fund Drive. Isaac speaks with Correspondent Katrine Bruner (Photo by Kade Young).
This is WFHB’s Fall Fund Drive. The WFHB Local News is your daily, award-winning source for Bloomington’s stories – from city government to in-depth features on the issues shaping our community. Every weekday at 5 p.m., volunteers, students and staff bring you news you won’t hear anywhere else.
Community radio is rare. And stations with fully independent newsrooms like ours are even rarer. But to keep WFHB Local News strong, we need your support.
Our goal for today’s broadcast is to raise $600. Every dollar you give is doubled thanks to a $100,000 anonymous match. That means your $25 becomes $50, your $50 becomes $100 – and every gift helps protect independent local journalism.
With cuts to public media, listener support has never been more important. Your donation ensures WFHB stays on the air, free from corporate control and political influence.
Call 812-323-1200 right now, or visit wfhb.org and click the red donate button. You are the heartbeat of community radio. Thank you for keeping WFHB – and your community news – alive and thriving.
Feature Report:
Indiana University Bloomington is home to more than 750 registered student organizations and clubs, all created and led by students. Some of them are trying to make a difference in B-town. Some are trying to help people who feel like outsiders find their community. During the first week of this semester WFHB sent dozens of reporters to the Student Involvement Fair to seek out these stories in a report produced by the Audio Storytelling class in The Media School. We go on-location now to Showalter Fountain with correspondent Anna Fernandez.

On June 9th, 2025, the city of Bloomington posted a news release that explained an insect, named the Spotted Lanternfly, had been confirmed in Bartholomew County, about 50 miles from Bloomington. The insect, a non-native and invasive species, can feed on more than 70 plants, harming growth and health of plants. Correspondent Katrine Bruner spoke with the city’s Urban Forester, Haskell Smith, to learn more about the insect and what Bloomington has been doing to mitigate risk.
