Funding

BoiseDev.com is fully owned by Day365, LLC, an Idaho company.  Day365 is controlled and owned by Don L. Day, who also serves as publisher of BoiseDev.com.  Day365’s revenue is 95% derived from the publication of BoiseDev.  Neither BoiseDev nor Day365 have any sources of outside investment.

The site’s revenue model depends on memberships and advertising. It also accepts outside grant funding, including from the Facebook Journalism Project and Google News Initiative.

Mission

BoiseDev is a community-focused journalism outlet, bringing business news coverage to the Greater Boise area.  The site aims to be lively, informative, fact-based and non-partisan.

Diverse voices

The site employs diverse sources for information and seeks out a variety of voices that are representative of the community in which it serves.

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.
