Flathead resident Maury Povich discusses difficulties Flathead Beacon newspaper startup faces

Over the past three years, talk show host Maury Povich has carved a niche for himself – if not quite a profit – in the Flathead Valley’s crowded newspaper landscape.

His start-up Flathead Beacon http://www.flatheadbeacon.com/ may have seemed an anachronism, here in the waning world of print journalism, but while other newspapers are shrinking and failing his Beacon is well-respected and growing.

Povich credits that success to the fact that his high-quality staff writes three kinds of stories – local, local and local.

The online daily version of the Beacon pulls stories from all over, by way of the Associated Press, but the weekly Wednesday print edition is generated entirely in-house, with articles not found in the Flathead’s metro daily or many weeklies.
