For years now, I’ve been a fan of Missoula County Public Schools’ literacy army – a group of Missoula professionals who work one-on-one with high school students on their writing skills. The Missoulian newsroom has been a longtime supporter of the program, starting with former reporter Mea Andrews, and continuing with reporter Michael Moore, city editor [...] At least once a week, I get a call from a reader asking why we haven’t published a “news story” they’ve heard on Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck or Bill O’Reilly. In every case, I check into the request and give the reader a call back. In every case, at least so far, my response has [...] The U10 Missoula Jr. Osprey took first place at the Potlatch Woodbat tournament. Pictured are Drew Leonard, Conner Kessler, Jayce Denman, Rollie Worster, Cody Weaver, Dylan Barkley, Sam Bucy, Kellen Round, Dane Fraser and Wyatt Herbert; bat boys Geno Leonard and Dalton Herbert. One of the nicest additions to the Missoulian this year has been [...] Here in the newsroom, we’re busy collecting information from the dozens of western Montana legislative candidates whose names will be on November’s general election ballot.

Specialist Kristopher Krause of Missoula sent us this awesome photograph of the soldiers showing their Griz colors atop a mountain in Afghanistan earlier this week. They’ll be missing out on all the fun of Griz football [...] There’s just one day of fun and games left at the 2010 Western Montana Fair, which means you have just one day left to drop by the Missoulian’s booth in the Commercial Building and help us provide newspapers for local classrooms. The Missoulian’s Newspapers in Education effort is one of our most important: It’s how we [...] Photograph by LINDA THOMPSON/Missoulian Missoulian photographer Linda Thompson had a confession to make yesterday: She wasn’t so sure she even liked going to the Western Montana Fair when she began a weeklong assignment to shoot portraits of fairgoers. Now, she’s sweet on the fair. Kind of sentimental about it, in fact. Even a little sappy about [...] |

There’s been a ton of chatter today about our decision to cancel a weekly feature on our print-edition Opinion page called Chatterbox.
