BOISE -- Nampa newspaper the Idaho Press announced Thursday that it has purchased the alternative Boise Weekly.
Boise Weekly will continue publication, and its downtown Boise office will serve as the site of the Idaho Press' Boise bureau, Idaho Press Editor Scott McIntosh wrote in a press release.
“We are very excited for Boise Weekly to be aligned with the Idaho Press,” Idaho Press publisher Matt Davison said in a statement. “As home delivery of the Idaho Press is now available in all of Ada County, the content and offerings of Boise Weekly will be perfect complementary content for readers in both Canyon and Ada counties.”
Adams Publishing, which owns the Idaho Press, did not disclose the terms of the deal. Boise Weekly Publisher Sally Freeman will remain in her role.
“We have been partners printing Boise Weekly at Idaho Press for many years,” Freeman said in a statement. “Adams Publishing Group believes in journalism, newspapers and communities. Together we will be stronger, and our partnership ensures the sustainability of Boise Weekly. We will continue to serve our community and provide the independent lens that our readers count on.”
The acquisition was finalized Wednesday, according to the Idaho Press.
