Corrections
Please send correction information directly to don@boisedev.com. Accurate, reliable information is of the utmost importance. Incorrect information will be changed within the story itself and highlighted with a correction note at the bottom – except for minor and/or typographical errors.
Our standards
BoiseDev adheres to the Society for Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics.
Citations, references and work type
Where appropriate, BoiseDev will cite the source of its information. When BoiseDev picks up a story from another, competitive news outlet – it will cite that outlet’s work. The site also aims not to do ‘duplicative’ reporting, wherein it repeats the reporting done by another outlet. The site primarily runs straight news reporting – though on occasion it runs contributed opinion pieces, which will be made clear in the first line of the story. It also occasionally runs news analysis pieces, which will also be called out where appropriate. BoiseDev also licenses content from the Idaho Press, a subsidiary of Adams Publishing. You can learn about the Idaho Press here.
Methods
This site relies heavily upon public records and other information in the public domain. News story sourcing comes from a broad array of methods – including community feedback, tips, source interviews, records and observation.
Locally sourced
BoiseDev maintains an office location in Downtown Boise, Idaho – the center of the area it primarily serves. The site also reports upon the rest of Ada County, Canyon County, and – where appropriate – Valley and Blaine Counties.
