Welcome to The Montana Chronicles!

Hi, I’m Zachery Schmidt. I’m a freelance journalist with nearly a decade of experience in conservative media, with bylines in The Tennesse Star, Daily Caller, and The College Fix.

Montana is one of the most conservative states in the country, yet much of the media fails to reflect the values, beliefs and perspectives of its people. That’s where The Montana Chronicles comes in.

I created this Substack to give Montana a voice—a space to explore the stories that matter to Montanans, told from a conservative perspective. Whether it’s local politics, cultural issues or state developments, The Montana Chronicles is here to keep you informed and engaged.

What You Can Expect
I’ll deliver fresh, thought-provoking stories to your inbox every Monday through Friday at 9:30 AM Mountain Time. This consistent, timely coverage ensures you stay ahead of the news impacting your state and community.

Independent journalism like this takes time, dedication and resources. Unlike corporate outlets, I’m accountable only to you—my readers. By supporting my work, you’re not just helping me sustain The Montana Chronicles; you’re ensuring that Montana’s conservative perspective gets the representation it deserves.

For just $9 a month—about 30 cents a day—you’ll unlock exclusive benefits:

  • Commenting privileges, so your voice can be part of the conversation.

  • An exclusive weekly article, diving deeper into critical issues.
