Hayden Reporter is an independently operated local news and information publication based in Hayden, Idaho.
Founded by Angela Faire, Hayden Reporter began as a community information resource to help neighbors stay informed about public safety, traffic, local events and everyday developments affecting their community.
Today, Hayden Reporter has expanded its focus to include original reporting on local government, public spending, infrastructure, public safety, planning and zoning, and other issues that affect residents.
Angela is joined in this work by her husband, James Faire, who contributes photography, attends public meetings and provides logistical and editorial support.
Our purpose remains straightforward: to inform, not convince.

We welcome corrections and clarifications when warranted.
We do not generally publish anonymous accusations, personal disputes, unverified rumors or national political commentary unrelated to our local coverage.

Local reporting is strengthened by community involvement.
