The West Wire 
SCHEDULE | PHOTOS | WESTERN LINKS | ENTERPRISE | STATES 
The West Wire organizes AP bureaus and member newspapers into a cooperative-within-a-cooperative across 13 Western states, from Colorado to California, Tacoma to Tucson, Honolulu to Anchorage. It allows them to share stories, track trends across state lines and step back to take a truly regional look at issues and events across the West. Western bureaus identify and develop stories with regional resonance: stories about the environment, mining, timber, open spaces, border issues, ranching, water, American Indians, growth, tourism, national parks and other issues. 

The West Wire offers spot news digests Monday through Friday and an enterprise digest that features advances for weekend and Monday release. Stories don't always have to have regional ramifications to be a good West Wire candidate. A good read is always welcome.

In addition to stories from AP bureaus throughout the region, the West Wire has regular offerings from Las Vegas-based regional writer Angie Wagner and three reporters in Washington, D.C., who cover the capital for Western states.

The wire includes AP staff-written stories as well as newspaper member exchanges that carry a newspaper credit and byline. West Wire stories move under q* numbers. All carry BC-WST- in the slug. Western regional news editor William Kronholm directs the West Wire from Helena, Mont.
