Idaho Press-Tribune

What Idaho Press-Tribune does

Idaho Press-Tribune, operating commercially as Idaho Press, is a multi-platform local newspaper publisher headquartered at 1618 N. Midland Blvd. in Nampa, Idaho. The publication traces its origins to 1883 and serves the Treasure Valley region of Idaho, including Nampa, Boise, Meridian, Kuna, and Emmett, covering local news, sports, politics, crime, education, government, and community events. Following acquisition by Adams Publishing Group (APG), a multimedia conglomerate headquartered in Davenport, Iowa, the company was rebranded from Idaho Press-Tribune to Idaho Press and now operates a portfolio of six wholly-owned sub-brand publications: Boise Weekly (alternative weekly), Kuna Melba News, Meridian Press, Emmett Messenger-Index, Blue Turf Sports (Boise State athletics), and Eye on Boise (state politics column).

The company's product surface spans a core daily newspaper, a digital E-Edition mirroring print, a mobile app, email newsletters, podcasts, photo galleries, video content, classifieds (including the Big Book of Jobs), an obituary placement service in partnership with Legacy.com, special editorial sections (Best of Boise, Top Workplaces, Parade of Homes, Buy Idaho), and a service directory. Technology infrastructure is built on the BLOX Content Management System from BLOX Digital, with subscriber management handled through a Newzware/SSO platform integrated across APG properties.

The business model is primarily consumer subscription-based, with home delivery starting at $10/month, digital-only subscriptions, and a $1.99 Day Pass option. Secondary revenue streams include display advertising, classifieds, obituaries and legal notices, special section sponsorships, events, and e-commerce (Shop Local marketplace). Customers are geographically concentrated individual consumers and local SMB advertisers in the Treasure Valley, with no disclosed enterprise customers.
