This Amendment No. 7 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed by Martin Capital Management, LLP (“MCM”) on May 18, 2006, as amended on April 23, 2007, August 10, 2007, September 12, 2007, July 8, 2008, January 8, 2010, and April 23, 2010 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), of Emmis Communications Corporation (the “Issuer”). Except as expressly set forth herein, there have been no changes in the information set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The Common Shares covered by this Schedule 13D were purchased by the Covered Persons and by MCM on behalf of its investment management clients and certain employee and pro bono accounts between September 28, 2001 and February 3, 2010 for approximately $10.8 million (cost basis adjusted at $1.40 per share, as per the special dividend paid by the Issuer on November 22, 2006). The source of funds for the purchases was cash available for investment from the Covered Persons and from such clients and accounts.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) and (b). The information contained on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference. MCM is the investment manager for client accounts, which combined beneficially own an aggregate of 1,400,065 Common Shares. MCM has the power to direct the vote and disposition of the Common Shares held in these client accounts. MCM also has the power to direct the vote and disposition of an additional 24,895 Common Shares held in certain employee, pro bono and similar accounts. The Covered Persons directly beneficially own an aggregate of 3,299 Common Shares, comprised of 3,299 Common Shares held by Andrew P. Wilson. Accordingly, MCM may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate amount of 1,428,259 Common Shares.

The Covered Persons, as partners of MCM, may be deemed to beneficially own the same number of Common Shares reported by MCM.

MCM disclaims beneficial ownership of the 1,428,259 Common Shares held in the accounts described above or held by the Covered Persons. The Covered Persons each disclaim beneficial ownership of the Common Shares reported above except, for each Covered Person, the respective amount reported as directly beneficially owned by such Covered Person.

(c) The reported share amounts for MCM reflect amounts as of April 27, 2010. The reporting persons effected the following transactions relating to the Common Shares since April 9, 2010, the event date of MCM’s Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D:

MCM transferred 115 Common Shares to an outside account on April 22, 2010 at a price of $2.17 per share.

MCM sold 443 Common Shares in the open market on April 22, 2010 at a price of $2.07 per share.

MCM sold 172,900 Common Shares in the open market on April 26, 2010 at a price of $2.31 per share.

MCM sold 450,800 Common Shares in the open market on April 27, 2010 at a price of $2.36 per share.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) MCM ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding Common Shares as of April 27, 2010.
