History

On September 12, 1928 the Anaconda Standard's Butte edition merged with Butte Miner to form The Montana Standard. [3] At the time it was owned by the Anaconda Company. [4] In 1959, It was sold to Lee Enterprises. [4]

In 1971, under the leadership of Betty Danfield, the paper's women's section won the Penney-Missouri Award for General Excellence. [5]

Starting July 11, 2023, the print edition of the newspaper will be reduced to three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Also, the newspaper will transition from being delivered by a traditional newspaper delivery carrier to mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service. [6]
