Join us at The Pulp: Live!

Erika Fredrickson was the Missoula Independent’s arts editor for a decade, helping cultivate the voice, perspective, and about-town sensibility that made the Indy a local institution. From the day it closed in 2018, she worked to bring independent journalism back to Missoula, while also freelancing, podcasting, music-making, and publishing a zine.

Before launching The Pulp, Matthew Frank spent several years as the associate director for regional journalism at the O’Connor Center for the Rocky Mountain West at the University of Montana, where he edited Mountain West News and served as the digital editor for a regional public radio collaborative. While at UM he also taught as an adjunct professor in the Journalism School’s graduate program and for the Wild Rockies Field Institute. Before that he was the Missoula Independent’s senior staff writer and associate editor.
