2015 marked the inception of idaho-news, a beacon for reliable and comprehensive news coverage dedicated to the residents of Idaho. Our journey began with a clear vision: to fill an information void on the internet where Idahoans could find concise, accurate, and unbiased news about their state. Over the years, we’ve grown from a small endeavor into a trusted source for news, with milestones including expanding our coverage, enhancing our reporting team, and introducing innovative digital platforms that reflect the dynamic nature of Idaho.

Our core values revolve around integrity, accountability, and transparency—values that guide our journalistic practice and commitment to excellence.
