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 [...] Advertisement
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. And on Sunday, thanks to reporter Keila Szpaller, [...] I love high school football games – especially those on great September evenings when the weather is still warm! And the very best of those games are the crosstown rivalries, where the grandstands are filled on both sides of the field and a whole bunch of bragging rights are on the line. One such contest is tonight [...] 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 [...] Missoulian advertising manager Jim McGowan found this sketch recently in the archives over at the Fort Missoula Historical Museum. He says it dates from 1872, “when they were thinking about changing the newspaper’s name to the Missoulian from Cedar Creek Pioneer.” So what do you think? Cedar Creek Pioneer? Or the Missoulian? And how about that [...] 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. On Aug. 22, 1910, Mr. Swaine took pen in hand and began writing, retelling the [...] Jason Begay, a Navajo Times reporter and University of Montana J-School alumnus, is the newest faculty member at the journalism school. And that’s good news for journalists and would-be journalists all across Montana. I got to know Jason a number of years ago, while teaching Public Affairs Reporting at the journalism school. 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 [...] This year’s Midway Dispatch team is Iris Olson, Marielle Gallagher and Ania Chaney. Photograph by KURT WILSON/Missoulian The 2010 edition of the Western Montana Fair is upon us, and with it horse racing (back at last!), the Methodist ladies’ pies (save me a slice of peach … and cherry … and …) and the Missoulian’s [...] Kudos are in order today for Missoula County Public Schools, which has reconsidered a proposed new student publications policy. The policy would have put a vice grip on high school newspapers and yearbooks, I believe, giving school administrators considerable latitude to spike any content that made them uncomfortable. Now Missoula County Public Schools administrators are ready to [...] |
