MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN MONTANA

The Billings Gazette, owned by Lee Enterprises, stands as the largest daily circulating paper and covers a massive geographic footprint. The Bozeman Daily Chronicle serves the rapidly expanding Gallatin Valley, while the Daily Inter Lake, owned by the Hagadone Corporation, has operated in the Flathead region since 1889. Native American journalism holds an established presence through publications like the Char-Koosta News, the official news source of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.
