Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Current, a San Francisco startup fronted by former Vice President Al Gore, plans to take citizen journalism to cable television.

The company is soliciting videos from the public to broadcast on its cable channel, which is expected to go live in August.

At the same time, visitors to Current’s Web site will be able to view videos the public submits and then vote on which ones they want to see.

Citizen journalism is based on the idea of average people dictating news coverage by creating news reports themselves or helping choose the content.
