Temporal Coverage | 1913-1961 |
Description | The Butte Daily Post emerged in 1913 under John Durston, reshaping the former Butte Inter Mountain. Owned by the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, it prioritized national over local news, often sidelining stories revealing Anaconda's political sway. During labor unrest from 1914 to 1921, it condemned strikers, aligned with Anaconda's interests, and clashed with dissenting voices like Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin. The paper covered the tragic Granite Mountain/Speculator Mine Fire but downplayed subsequent mine fatalities. Anaconda's anti-labor stance, notably the open shop policy in 1921, weakened union influence. Durston's departure in 1924 marked a shift, signaling the end of an era for Montana journalism.
