The AP in Montana

From Alzada to Yaak, and points in between, the Helena bureau of The Associated Press covers breaking news, sports, enterprise and business news.

The Helena bureau has a full-time staff of 10 people, including a seven-person news staff, to provide comprehensive news and sports coverage from the fourth largest state. The Billings office has one person to cover news in eastern Montana and northern Wyoming.

Since 1846, the AP, a not-for-profit news cooperative, has provided global news coverage. In Montana, our news, photos, graphics and sound are published or aired in 10 daily newspapers, about 65 radio and TV stations, and carried in some campus and weekly newspapers.
