LAKE COUNTY, INDIANA- Raising the bar for local journalism in Indiana (and indeed, nation-wide,) Lake County based literary journal/parody website The Field Notes Report was recognized for excellence in small town investigative journalism by way of a Peabody Award for its extensive coverage of local food festivals, conspiracy theories, transparent hoaxes, and Reddit.
When approached for comment, the news outlet’s representatives did that “fanning hands motion/make it rain” thing. Upon examination, the bills they littered the immediate area with were counterfeit and featured a portrait of John Larroquette where a President would ordinarily be pictured.
