The Daily Montanan is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization dedicated to covering Montana state government and politics. The outlet focuses on public lands, healthcare, education, and other statewide policy issues, aiming not just to report what is happening but to explain why and how it affects the lives of Montana residents. Guided by a commitment to truth, transparency, and trust, the Daily Montanan positions itself as an independent voice essential to a functioning democracy. In addition to news reporting, the outlet runs a commentary section featuring outside contributors who write on issues relevant to Montanans; these pieces are clearly labeled and separate from staff journalism. The Daily Montanan is a proud affiliate of States Newsroom, the nation's largest state-focused nonprofit news network, which provides grant funding and editorial support while the Daily Montanan retains full editorial independence. The publication is free to readers, with no paywalls and no advertising.
