Community News Service class visits Helena reporters

Half a dozen reporters in the J-School's Community News Service class took a recent Friday to bus to Helena where they met capital reporters and enjoyed a public records tour. Amidst the education, the students ate lunch at a local restaurant called Windbag that is popular among local politicians. Community News Service reporters have spent the semester writing stories of statewide interest; their work has been published by more than two dozen Montana newspapers.
