The Fort Peck Journal is a weekly newspaper on the Fort Peck Reservation. It is based in Poplar, Montana and it is one of four newspapers on the Fort Peck Reservation.
Though it is not officially tribal media, it is Native American owned and covers the affairs of the Fort Peck Tribes and its surrounding entities. It has a circulation of 1,600 in five communities in eastern Montana and western North Dakota.
The Journal was founded April 2006, after Bonnie Red Elk, editor of the Fort Peck Tribes weekly newspaper the Wotanin Wowapi, was fired for questioning the tribal chairman using tribal dollars for personal travels to Florida.
