Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

The University of Montana School of Journalism received $250,000 to expand media literacy and audio storytelling skills in rural and Indigenous communities.

“Through these initiatives, we aim to cultivate a new generation of storytellers who can advocate for their communities and contribute to a more diverse and inclusive media landscape,” said Media Lab Director Mary Auld in a press release.

The funding will be used to launch four-day intensive audio journalism summer camps in Missoula in July 2024 and 2025.
