Coverage Profile

Montana has 250 indexed sources - a strong local news footprint by ETTG's standards - producing an average of 291 articles per day. That said, 4 counties (7%) still lack a directly-indexed source - coverage is concentrated in certain areas even when the headline number looks healthy.

Montana's community database holds 803 entries across groups, government offices, public resources, local spots, and events. This civic layer is separate from news - it exists regardless of source coverage, and it's queryable via the ETTG API.
