May/June 2021 Give Back To Montana Free Press

MTFP is a non-partisan journalistic institution that provides nuanced and detailed coverage on a wide range of topics across the state. Independent journalism is an essential element to exercising personal and political freedom. Access to this type of work is increasingly harder due to market pressures and corporate conglomerates subsuming smaller media groups or publishers. Yet this group has published highly informed and doggedly reported stories about our state and communities in addition to operating a comprehensive tracking system for our state legislature. Their Capitol Tracker system was able to keep me informed of every movement of the different cannabis legislation drafted and processed through the legislative process. The fact that MTFP is able to provide exceptional journalism and tools in the current environment and with such lean staff and public support is proof of its value to the community. Objectivity in journalism is something of incredible value and I appreciate the opportunity to direct FiDi’s support towards such a necessary service.
