USA Today
is the one national newspaper that can be found throughout the region, and the
Wall Street Journal
is also popular. If you want a national newspaper like the
New York
Times
or the
Washington Post,
many towns still have smaller newspaper and magazine
stores, but you may get a copy that is a few days old at best. Large grocery stores
typically have regional dailies. In Montana, the larger dailies are the
Missoulian,
the
Great
Falls Tribune,
and the
Billings Gazette,
although every small town seems to have at
least a weekly newspaper, which can be a great source of information on local events
and attractions. Other Montana publications to look out for include the
Lively Times
(
www.livelytimes.com
)
, a monthly statewide guide to entertainment, and
Montana
Magazine,
a good roundup of life in Montana. The
Montana Quarterly
and
Big Sky Journ-
al
are excellent literary reads and feature well-written articles about the Treasure State and
the Greater Yellowstone area.
In Wyoming, the larger daily newspapers include the
Casper Star-Tribune
(the only
statewide newspaper), the
Wyoming Tribune Eagle
in Cheyenne, and the
Laramie Boom-
erang.
Other popular papers include the weekly
Jackson Hole News & Guide
and Wor-
land's
Northern Wyoming Daily News.
One of best sources of local and national news is
National Public Radio,
which can
be heard in even the smallest of towns in both states.
Montana Public Radio

western Montana (
