Montana Free Press is a free, independent news site that serves people by delivering in-depth, meaningful news stories.

MTFP seeks to uncover the truth and bring to light important news stories by studying arcane bureaucratic processes, seeking out dark corners of major institutions, digging deep into data, and holding those in power accountable to the people of this great state.

Our goal is to equip Montanans with relevant information and facts to help them better participate in their democracy.
