Boise State Public Radio shined in 2014. Coverage included multiple series that produced in-depth examinations of how Idaho's very conservative political culture was shaped, and how a fragmented mental health system hurts those living with a mental illness.
In May and October, Boise State Public Radio was a market leader in its coverage of Idaho's evolving gay marriage debate. Dozens of newscasts each week kept listeners apprised of the news of the day.
