COEUR D’ALENE – The publisher of the Coeur d’Alene Press newspaper in northern Idaho has resigned, and the paper is searching for his successor.

The Coeur d’Alene Press announced Thursday that Larry Riley resigned Wednesday to pursue other opportunities.

Brad Hagadone, president of The Hagadone Corp., that owns the Coeur d’Alene Press and several other newspapers in the region, said his company wishes Riley the best in his career pursuits.

Riley has been the paper’s publisher since October 2016, also overseeing the company’s newspaper operations in Sandpoint, Bonners Ferry and the Silver Valley.

Hagadone said a search for Riley’s successor will begin immediately.
