Eunice Trotter is from a pioneer Black family with roots in Indiana dating back to the late 1790s. She attended public schools in Indianapolis and worked her way through college. She holds journalism undergraduate degrees and an MBA.
Eunice began working at “The Indianapolis Recorder” during her high school years and in 1987 purchased controlling interest of that newspaper, which is one of the oldest African American newspapers in the country. She was the first African American editor at “The Indianapolis Star” and held editing or reporting positions at several other newspapers, including “The New York Post”, “Florida Today,” the “Palm Beach Post” and the “Lafayette Journal and Courier.”
Eunice has won numerous reporting and writing awards and in 2017 was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame. She has written several historical articles and received the Indiana Historical Society’s Dorothy Riker Historian Award. She recently published her first book, “Black in Indiana,” which received a first-place award from the Indiana Press Women’s Club. The book also placed first in 2021 Federation of Press Women’s competition.
