-The toughest part of reporting for a newspaper is
talking to people that you know are lying to you.”
* Lauran Dundee,

The Great
Times, a weekly newspaper with offices in downtown Great Falls,
Mont., was born Sept. 18, 1996. “It’s based on the old-fashioned
concept of what a paper should do,” says publisher Lauran Dundee.
Dundee is no stranger to the news business; she formerly published
The Eagle, a weekly in Stockett, Mont., and founded the Times
“because there was a growing gap in local knowledge of what was
going on, especially since the Gannett News Service bought out the
local daily.” Dundee says the 24-page paper will pay particular
attention to land-use planning and transportation issues. For more
