After more than two decades of separation, Idaho’s daily and weekly newspapers have formed the Newspaper Association of Idaho with 39 charter members from all corners of the state. Officers for the new association were elected Friday, March 25. They are: Roger Plothow, Idaho Falls Post Register, president and treasurer; Nathan Alford, Lewiston Tribune and Moscow-Pullman Daily News, vice president; Dan Hammes, St. Maries Gazette-Record, secretary. Other board members are: Andy McNab, Idaho County Free Press; Mi-Ai Parrish, Idaho Statesman; and Brett Crompton, Power County Press and Aberdeen Times/St. Maries Gazette-Record. More here.

Question: Do Idaho newspapers have more/less clout today than they did a decade ago?
