Headwaters News is a project of the Center for the Rocky Mountain West at The University of Montana. It was started with a three-year grant from The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and is currently funded with an additional Hewlett grant and through partnerships.

We provide a daily snapshot of news and opinion in the Rocky Mountain region of North America, giving the changing mountain West a tool to understand itself and a platform for the exchange of ideas. We welcome your comments.

Editor: Shellie Nelson received her journalism degree from the University of Montana in May 1996 and worked three years as a daily newspaper copy editor and page designer. She worked as Headwaters News' assistant editor from August 2003 until June, 2005, when she was named editor.

Director of the Center: Larry Swanson has a background in journalism, economics consulting, and policy analysis. He is a native Nebraskan with a Ph.D. in economics and community and regional planning from the University of Nebraska.
