A black bear falls into the waiting net of its rescuers after being tranquilized outside an apartment building on East Broadway. KURT WILSON/Missoulian Congratulations to Missoulian photography editor Kurt Wilson, who reminded us all today of what it takes to come back to the newsroom with great spot news photography: hustle (getting to the right [...] Advertisement
We’ve thought we were pretty clever about finding new uses for Twitter, here in the Missoulian newsroom. But we will never be as clever – or as heroic – as the Japanese journalist who tricked his captors in Afghanistan and used Twitter to let the outside world know he was alive. Here’s the Associated Press story on [...] One night a few years back, after falling asleep while watching TV, I woke to see one of my daughter’s childhood friends reading the news on MontanaPBS. It took a few minutes to wake up enough to realize that professional newscaster was indeed the same little girl who I once put in timeout when she shoved [...] 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 [...] This week, our newsroom bids farewell to a treasured longtime reporter, Michael Jamison, who for 15 years has covered Glacier National Park, Flathead and Lincoln counties, and everything in-between for the Missoulian. Michael has accepted a position with the National Parks Conservation Association, a nonprofit whose mission it is to protect and enhance America’s national parks.

It addresses a concern I’ve shared with you before – how to let web readers know the source and reliability of information they’re reading in news stories. For its part, the AP discussed and then implemented a [...] 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 [...] We honor a colleague, KPAX-TV news anchor Jill Valley, today with a thoughtful and wonderfully written story by reporter Michael Moore. It is Jill’s story, though, and she does the telling. About breast cancer. And courage. About the unstoppable force that is our desire, as human beings, to keep on living. There are many Jills in [...] |

Campaign 2010: Let the games begin!
It’s Labor Day, and that means the “official” – or at least the traditional – start of the fall campaign season. And while much has been made about Montana’s lack of fiery statewide races this year, there are dozens of very significant local races.
Control of the 2011 Montana Legislature will be decided in each and [...]
