Montana Free Press
U.S. center-left
Montana Free Press is an independent nonprofit newsroom with no corporate owner, sustained by foundation grants and reader donations. Media bias trackers (Media Bias/Fact Check, AllSides) place it in the left-center to lean-left range, with a strong factual reporting record. Its recent coverage of the Trump administration's second term has focused heavily on the impacts of federal policy changes — Medicaid work requirements, federal workforce cuts, and environmental rollbacks — with a tone that is largely critical of those policies.
Owned byIndependent 501(c)(3) nonprofit; no corporate parent. Founded by journalist John S. Adams, governed by a nonprofit board.
