One year ago today the StateImpact Idaho blog went live.

Back then, we promised to explain what the economic recovery looks like in Idaho, how government and businesses plan for the future, and how government policy impacts growth and job creation.

We’ve covered these issues in a variety of ways and will continue to explore how policy decisions affect tax payers, business owners, school districts, farmers and government employees.

We’ll also continue to tell these stories through interactive maps and charts, in-depth radio features and explanatory web posts that go beyond the news of the day.

Here are a few things you can expect in the coming months:

  • What Idaho’s Doctor Shortage Means For Patients, Businesses, Schools And Physicians
  • Exploring Idaho’s Energy Plan
  • Explanatory Election 2012 Coverage
  • The Future Of Idaho’s Students Come First Education Laws

We also want to know what you want more of.Ā  Are there stories you think we should be telling?Ā  What have we missed?

Starting a new news site is a big challenge.Ā  Thanks to the support from our collaborators, Boise State Public Radio, NPR and the Northwest News Network, our audience continues to grow across the region.Ā  But we still need your help in spreading the word about StateImpact Idaho.
