Go Griz!

Therefore, sports will suffer greatly in the print edition because most games will not have even started by deadline and in yesterday's case, the press conference did not end until 5:15 so the paper was probably already in bed before Frank even had a chance to write about it.
The corporatization of media is what is killing traditional media. It's been going this way for more than a decade. Sad.

Wasn't the bobcat game 2 hrs later than the griz game?

I see people are wondering why hardly any coverage of the game on Saturday.... Here you go.

Yes. The primary factors here (and I have not seen the Missoulian in print aside from
Special sections I pick up like fall prep sports tab previews) are that Lee Enterprises is now sharing sports content with Pioneer, who owns the Chronicle. So a beat writer for both the Gazette and Chron were in Portland yesterday. The other factor is MSU sports information produces newspaper style press releases for every athletic event that the newspapers can lazily just run without much if any tweaking. UM press releases are written much differently because Montana wants everyone to go to gogriz.com as primary content supplier.
That doesn’t solve why MSU football would be in print today and Montana would not. I have not seen today’s paper so I have no way of knowing that’s true but if it is, there’s a variety of whys and I promise you the why it is not is that the Missoulian hates the Griz. The Missoulian is well aware that one of the only reasons folks pick up their newspaper is the Griz no matter the slant of the stories.
I’ll do some digging. Can you for sure confirm that there are no Griz football stories in Sunday’s print Missoulian? If so, that’s wild and something must’ve happened. Because reporter and photographer were definitely there at the game yesterday.

Others have answered this to some degree, but look for those 2nd and 3rd articles with post-game quotes and other Big Sky game wrap-up info in Monday's Missoulian. Their cut-off is obscenely early now that they print out of Helena like Colter said. Newspapers have already become borderline obsolete to many, but when you can't even provide scores from the night before, local daily newspapers are about to go the way of the dinosaur. Enjoy the Missoulian while you can. It won't exist in a cpl years.
