Need Help? Ask Jtech!

We believe students learn by doing. Our students get out of the classroom and into the real world – here in Missoula, around the state and beyond. They:

Report on stories ranging from hard news to features
Travel to towns around the West for photo and video shoots
Produce award-winning television, online, radio, print and photo stories and documentaries
Cover Native American issues, sports, politics, the environment
