Help us cover Coeur d'Alene.
The Coeury is looking for photographers and reporters around Coeur d'Alene, Hayden and the surrounding areas. Contributors are the people who go out, see what's happening and bring it back: a new storefront on Sherman, a meeting nobody covered, a game under the lights.
Ways to contribute
Contributing photographer
Photograph the places, businesses, events and people in our stories. Your name runs under every photo we use.

What you get
This is unpaid. No money changes hands either way. What you get is credit and a place to be seen:
- Your name on every photo, clip and story you contribute.
- A contributor profile on The Coeury, with a link to your own website or Instagram.
- Tagged by name when we share your work on social media.
- Published work you can point to as you build your name and your portfolio.
How it works
- Apply below. Tell us what you shoot or write and show us some of it.
- We talk. What you'd like to cover, and how we work.
- You go out. We send you assignments, and you pitch your own.
- We publish it with your name on it. We edit, check the facts and run it.
What we ask
- Work to how we report: facts first, nothing made up, nothing staged and passed off as news.
- Only send photos and video you took yourself.
- Say who you're with when you take photos or ask questions.
- Tell us if you're connected to anyone in a story, before you work on it.
- Respect private property, and ask a parent before photographing someone's kids.
- You must be 18 or older.
Your work stays yours
You keep the rights to your photos, video and writing. When you send something in, you're letting The Coeury publish it on the site and our social media, with your name on it.
