The Missoulian began a new yearlong series today, with the publication of reporter Jamie Kelly’s first “Hall Passages” story. Each week on a rotating basis, Jamie will visit a private or public school in the Missoula Valley to see what’s new in the halls of our learning institutions. He’ll spend time in the school, focusing on [...] Here’s one of the things I’ve loved about hanging around newspapers all my working life: the smell of a new edition of the paper coming off the press. Now, thanks to a Missoula couple, I can log that pleasant inky aroma on a global map of smelly places.

Photo by [...] 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.

We’re joining our sister newspapers throughout Lee Enterprises in asking readers what they like, don’t like, would add to or subtract from their Sunday newspaper. We know times are tight for folks here in western Montana, and want to make sure [...] We only know them as Mr. and Mrs. Swaine, but their story endures – 100 years after the largest firestorm in recorded U.S.history came within a few feet of incinerating tiny Mullan, Idaho, and everyone huddled outside its homes and shopfronts.
