Idaho Statesman

The Idaho Statesman has been the Treasure Valley’s news source for 156 years. Our core mission hasn’t changed much over the years: provide local, essential reporting that informs our readers about what is happening in the world around them. We aim to arm policy makers and community members alike with exclusive, fact-based reporting, data, context and analysis that allows them to make better decisions for their families and our community. Our coverage area is now made up of Ada and Canyon counties, which includes the Boise city limits, but it used to include four other counties with regularity.
