Media Guides

We want Montanans to have the most accurate information possible about extremist groups and their activity. These groups are propaganda machines, so we built guides and tools to help people separate fact from disinformation. Some of these guides can also help reporters craft articles about White Nationalism, racism, and Far Right extremism without giving dangerous groups or individuals free advertising.
