About Idaho Dispatch

Idaho Dispatch is a non-partisan, independent news source designed to be your local media ally in Idaho. In stark contrast to the legacy media, our mission is to bring you political news that offers all sides of a story.

What sets Idaho Dispatch apart is that we do everything we can to remove personal bias from our news articles. We don’t try to label individuals like the mainstream media does, and terms such as “far right” and “far left” won’t appear in our articles. Idaho Dispatch believes the job of a journalist is to give you the facts and let you decide what you want to believe from those facts.

We accept opinion editorials on various topics that interest Idaho residents, including Op-Eds from all sides of the political spectrum. The views and opinions expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the position of Idaho Dispatch. While our news articles are as unbiased as possible, Op-Eds obviously contain the bias of the author who submits them.

We encourage polite comments and discussion in the comment section under each article and strongly discourage name-calling and ad hominem attacks.

History

In June 2020, Greg Pruett founded and launched the Idaho Dispatch.

Greg had grown tired of Idaho’s mainstream media, which seemed incapable of writing political news articles without a mountain of bias. Greg wanted Idahoans to have a news source they could not only go to for political news that was as unbiased as possible but also to a source they could go to for breaking stories important to them that were often ignored by the mainstream media.

From June 2020 through September 2022, Idaho Dispatch covered numerous political stories and events, conducted major interviews, and broke several stories before the mainstream press, such as the F.B.I.’s investigation into the Caldwell Police Department and the investigation of Boise’s Police Chief at the time, Ryan Lee.

In September 2022, Greg handed the Idaho Dispatch over to Miste Gardner to focus on other priorities that were needed at the time.

Miste took the Idaho Dispatch and has continued to run it with the same vision Greg started in 2020.
