Media & News

For all the daily news around Missoula, use our Make it Missoula Newsfeed .

The casual observer may associate a “college town” with decent local publications, broadcasting, newspaper, and other media outlets. If you haven’t noticed it by now, Missoula is not the average college town.

Our community is rich in media outlets: some locally owned, others affiliated with national conglomerates. From high school sports and Griz broadcasts to statewide and national news, local media efforts keep you in the mainstream.
