Mountain Journal, known as MoJo, produces public-interest journalism at the intersection of nature and humanity in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of America's most iconic and ecologically significant regions. The outlet goes beyond daily news coverage to deliver in-depth reporting and analysis on the planet's environmental issues, with a particular focus on wildlife, land use, climate change, and the complex ways humans interact with the natural world.
As a nonprofit media organization, Mountain Journal serves a dual role as both a journalistic watchdog and a celebrant of Greater Yellowstone, aiming to advance civil, scientifically informed public discussion through fact-based reporting that benefits both people and wildlife. Its coverage spans the tri-state region surrounding Yellowstone National Park, including Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, with regional reporting on topics like public lands policy, wildlife science, federal land management agencies, and conservation issues.
The publication offers a free newsletter to subscribers and organizes its journalism into categories including news dispatches, in-depth features, opinion pieces, and dedicated coverage of wilderness issues and the National Park Service. Mountain Journal is funded primarily through reader donations and is built on the Newspack publishing platform.
