'''''Coeur d'Alene Press''''' (also known as '''CDA Press''') is a [[United States|U.S.]] daily newspaper based out of [[Coeur d'Alene, Idaho]]. It is owned by the Hagadone Media Group and the flagship property of the Idaho Hagadone News Network. The CDA Press has been in print daily since 1929 and its target market includes [[Kootenai County, Idaho|Kootenai]], Bonner, Shoshone, and Boundary counties. Joseph T. Scott published the first issue of Idaho's weekly Coeur d'Alene Press on February 20, 1892. In his salutation, Scott stated, "The people of Kootenai County are here for a purpose: Nature has placed before them crude material for building up a prosperous and wealthy community... and the Press proposes to be one of the factors in this development."

At its inception, the Press identified itself as an "independent [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] paper, supporting the principles of that party so long as it holds to present doctrines." It was published weekly on Saturdays, as four pages with seven columns, but by 1906 it published ten pages of content, prompting Scott to make the paper a daily on August 6, 1906.

The Coeur d'Alene Press reported on the area's natural resources: mining, water, timber, and agriculture. In the late 19th century, [[Coeur d'Alene, Idaho|Coeur d'Alene]] was a hub for railroad and steamboat transport, moving mining materials from the valleys of northern Idaho to eastern smelters. The timber boom of the early 1900s offered even more business opportunities, and by 1907 there were permanent laws enacted by the National Forest Reserve to protect forested areas from "big timber companies." In 1909, Coeur d'Alene boasted a population of 9,000, with a number of well-attended public schools, a large public library, and a reputation as a summer resort destination. The Press also reported on news from smaller Kootenai County towns such as Wallace, Harris, Rathdrum, and St. Maries. It contained abundant news related to Spokane, situated 33 miles across the border in Washington and accessible by a one-hour train ride.

In the course of three weeks, over 300,000 applicants from all over the country visited Coeur d'Alene to put in their names for a claim to this newly available land.

In his salutation, Scott stated, "The people of Kootenai County are here for a purpose: Nature has placed before them crude material for building up a prosperous and wealthy community... and the Press proposes to be one of the factors in this development."[2]

At its inception, The Press identified itself as an "independent Republican paper, supporting the principles of that party so long as it holds to present doctrines".[3] It was published weekly on Saturdays as four pages with seven columns, but by 1906, it published ten pages of content. This prompted Scott to make the paper a daily on August 6, 1906. He described the Press as "broad gauge independent, but not neutral by this time".[citation needed]

The Coeur d'Alene Press, originally published on weekdays and Saturdays, ran until 1929. On November 18, 1907, its name was changed to the Coeur d'Alene Evening Press. The latter appeared daily, except on Sundays. In 1929, its name reverted to the Coeur d'Alene Press.[citation needed]
