The City of Indianola has hired a new communications director, Aaron Young. Young tells KNIA News one of his goals is to make the city more accessible to everyone, and as many in the community consume media and information in different ways, he will implement strategies to try and broaden the reach.

“Finding different mediums and different ways to connect with audiences. Because we all engage with content very differently. The message may be the same, but there are different ways for us to get the points across or to increase engagement. So my position is really at the forefront to lead that and to tailor strategies as it’s based upon topic, as it’s based upon department need, and so forth.”

Young said the city has already released an informational video regarding the opening of the south parking lot on the square as part of his outreach effort.
