Televised press conferences and interviews during COVID-19 pandemic with Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and other state officials in 2020-2022


Starting in March 2020, I had the opportunity to participate virtually in dozens and dozens of televised press conferences with Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and other state officials. These were mostly centered around the COVID-19 pandemic, but other topics were also discussed.


I also had a chance to conduct two end-of-year interviews with Gov. Holcomb in 2020, virtually, and 2021, in person.


This is not a complete list of the press conferences I was a part of during this time period, but these are the ones during which I had an opportunity to ask a question. There are officials who were present and answered questions during these press conferences who were not listed in the official descriptions listed below, which were originally sent out beforehand. For each applicable press conference or interview, I have also included my stories below which quote directly from each:
