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 [...] Greg Mortenson with Afghan students in Sarhad village – Pamir mountains – Afghanistan Photo Teru Kuwayama Bozeman’s Greg Mortenson has definitely made it to the short list of America’s media darlings in recent weeks.

He was a student in [...] This year’s Midway Dispatch team is Iris Olson, Marielle Gallagher and Ania Chaney. Photography by KURT WILSON/Missoulian A hearty, and heartfelt, round of applause is in order this morning for Ania Chaney, Iris Olson and Marielle Gallagher – the high-school journalists who were our Midway Dispatch reporters at the 2010 Western Montana Fair. Their final stories [...] One of the great joys in the Missoulian newsroom over the years has been watching all the newsroom babies grow up. Last night, we saw one grow up on stage in the Montana Theatre, before our very eyes. Julian Nickell, the 3-year-old son of arts and entertainment reporter Joe Nickell, is the child at the center of [...] Congratulations to Pete Nowakowski, who is the new city editor of the Helena Independent Record. All of us here at the Missoulian newsroom look forward to working with him … again!

Phil Buck The Missoulian newsroom has always enjoyed a friendly relationship with our local television colleagues.
