About

Bio

Yellowstone Public Radio is a public radio regional network based in Billings, Montana with transmitters covering most of Montana, as well as northern Wyoming. It is operated by Montana State University Billings. It airs a mix of programming from National Public Radio, classical music and jazz. Per the News Director, "Pitches are best for the Yellowstone Public Radio newsroom if they are first emailed with a press/news release." You can make follow-up phone calls to the news director directly via his direct number. "But its always better to send a news release first so the news director has an idea what the story is about before calling the station." He also says, "We focus on Public Policy news stories such as local and regional governments, the election process and voter-driven initiatives and ballot proposals referred to the voting block by state lawmakers. We cover a lot of environmental issues, science, data-driven news such as how many communities in Montana or Wyoming have increased fluoride treatments in local water supplies…for example. We do not have time to cover single instances of violent crimes, murder and petty crimes. If we do cover crime it is based on trends in the crime scene such as how many homicides were reported last year, or how community authorities are handling cybercrime…that sort of thing. Not blood and guts sensationalized stories that tend to be top stories for local TV stations." What catches their attention per the News Director, "Stories that have or can have an angle that fits within the mission of public radio news/journalism. We don’t typically do stories about celebrities or Hollywood stories that are based on gossip and/or hearsay. We don’t do stories that promote products or services. We are focused on providing factual-based sound-rich stories that put complicated issues into context for our listeners."
