As I look back on 2020 and forward to 2021, there is one word that continues to pop into my mind: resiliency. Just like all of you reading this, 2020 threw the MTPR staff curveball after curveball. The MTPR team persevered, bounced back and became even more resilient than they were before to provide you uninterrupted coverage when you needed it the most. If only you could see the behind the scenes shuffle and hustle to make this all work!

The MTPR News team, including our online team, have been in overdrive this year. They covered the ongoing pandemic, the most contentious election in our history, and the legislative session with insightful storytelling, bringing national stories to Montana and Montana stories to a national audience.
