Dedicated to improving journalism in Idaho
Deanna Darr is a communications professional and former journalist. Before leaving daily journalism, she worked as a reporter at papers in Boise, Idaho, Bend, Ore. and Jackson, Wyo., covering everything from government, public lands, environmental issues, outdoor recreation, arts, music and theater.
She earned her degree in journalism from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Arizona State University longer ago than she cares to admit.
The Idaho Press Club serves journalists across the state, helping newsrooms access public documents, challenge open meeting violations, and providing tools and training so reporters are confident navigating Idaho courtroom rules and legislative decorum. We are committed to protecting access to information and advocating for government transparency. We also celebrate excellence in journalism at our annual banquet and awards ceremony, and provide scholarships for students and mid-career journalists. You can find our latest news in the Idaho Press Club Communicator, including information on upcoming events and trainings. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out through the “Contact Us” tab.
