Founded in 2006 by Brian Kelly, Current Publishing came into being to bring hyper-local news to the suburbs of Indianapolis. The idea sparked when Kelly, a media veteran, noticed that while big city newspapers covered major events, they were missing the small but important stories happening in local neighborhoods. He launched the first edition, Current in Carmel, to deliver 100% local news directly to residents' mailboxes. Today, the company is still independently owned and operated by Brian Kelly. Today, Current Publishing is run by a team of community editors and is mainly focused on local government politics, high school sports, business openings, and community events. They are based in Carmel, Indiana, and serve several specific communities in Hamilton and Boone counties, including Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, and Zionsville. One interesting fact: A unique fact about Current Publishing is its delivery method. Unlike most newspapers that require a paid subscription or must be picked up at a store, Current Publishing mails its newspapers to every single home in the communities it serves, ensuring that 100% of the residents receive the local news whether they signed up for it or not.
