Idaho Education News (EdNews), established in 2013, is a dedicated online platform focused on reporting and discussing public education affairs in Idaho. With its mission to produce comprehensive, thoughtful, and independent journalism, EdNews serves as a reliable source of information about public education policies, practices, and the people behind them.
The platform offers various services, including news stories, commentary, and useful data related to education. It primarily reports on P-12 public education in Idaho, while also addressing national education issues and their impact on Idaho. The content is freely accessible to all users, and available for distribution, provided appropriate acknowledgment is given.
In the realm of education reporting, EdNews positions itself as a leader. Its unique selling point is its commitment to creating a conversation platform, where issues affecting Idaho's children and their future can be openly discussed. Its reach extends beyond its website, with information also disseminated through various social media channels.
Over the years, EdNews has grown significantly, currently employing nine staff members, including reporters stationed in Northern and Eastern Idaho. Funded by a grant from the JA and Kathryn Albertson Foundation, EdNews continues to prioritize education and invites everyone to join the conversation.
