Named for Coeur d'Alene. Written for the people who live here.
The Coeury is local news for Coeur d'Alene, Hayden and the surrounding areas. Built for the people who live here, by people who live here.
From here
The people behind The Coeury were born and raised in Coeur d'Alene and North Idaho. We grew up on this lake and these streets, and we still live here. This is our home, and these are our neighbors.
Why you won't see our names
We keep our own names off the page on purpose. Not to hide, but so the story stays the story. The news isn't about who reports it. Judge us by the work: every fact sourced, every source linked.
All the facts. No lean.
Bias usually lives in what gets left out. So we don't leave out what matters, and we don't tell you what to think. We lay out what happened, what's on the record and what isn't. Then you decide.
When records showed a local business founder was released from jail on the sheriff's order, hours after deputies say he pulled a gun on a stranger, another outlet left his name out of the headline. We put it in: Parker Toyota founder accused of pulling gun, released. Not to pile on anyone, and not to protect anyone.
Not built for clicks
We're not chasing likes, shares or outrage, and we don't measure ourselves by clicks or money. No story gets pumped up to keep you scrolling. If something is small, we say so. If it matters, we say why.
A source you can count on
The goal is simple: one place where the people of North Idaho can get it straight. Every story links the records and reporting it comes from. Opinion stays labeled and apart. Mistakes get fixed in the open.
