Our Story
The Electric is an independent news website focused on Great Falls and Cascade County, as well as Malmstrom Air Force Base and the Montana National Guard. For now, this is largely a passion project spearheaded by Jenn Rowell, a former Tribune city/military reporter with more than a decade of journalism experience. Others involved will include former journalists in the Great Falls area and across Montana as well as other smart people with a knack for writing and informing the community.
Before the Tribune, Jenn covered the military and other beats for papers in Alabama and Virginia, and did communications work for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund and the National Museum of Health and Medicine.
You can find some of Jenn’s previous work here and here.
The kind of stories you can expect to find here: how local government works; things that seem boring, such as taxes, budgets, municipal code and ordinance updates, but actually impact your life; analysis of economic development, downtown revitalization, and the local business climate; food security, the local food network, agriculture and local impact to the bigger food picture in the U.S.; news from the Montana National Guard and Malmstrom Air Force Base, which will often include broader nuclear issues, military and national security stories.
