During the state’s legislative session, the Idaho Reports staff turns a spotlight on the important issues affecting all Idahoans. The half hour program is the longest-running public policy show in the West.

Melissa Davlin is the lead producer and host of Idaho Reports. She has covered the Idaho Legislature since 2012. She also produces for Outdoor Idaho and Idaho Public Television. 

Melissa has won multiple awards for her work, including a regional Emmy for her documentary on Chinese immigration in Idaho, Idaho Press Club broadcast reporter of the year for 2015 and 2019, the Idaho Press Club First Amendment Award, and the 2019 Boise State University Enhancing Public Discourse award. She is also the recipient of the University of Idaho Silver and Gold Alumni Award, and currently serves as the president of the Idaho Press Club. Melissa lives in Boise with her husband and three children. 

Logan Finney is a North Idaho native with a passion for media production and boring government meetings. He grew up skiing, hiking and hunting in the mountains of Bonner County and has maintained a lifelong interest in the state’s geography, history and politics.  

Logan joined the Idaho Reports team in 2020 as a legislative session intern. A typical season of the show would have ended with the session, but COVID-19 quickly spread to the state and he stayed to cover the pandemic as a production assistant. Logan was hired as an associate producer in 2021, and they haven’t been able to get rid of him. 

Adam McCoy is the Director/Videographer for Idaho Reports. When he was a kid, his father took him into the control room of the local television studio and from that moment onward he was destined to sit and work in a room with far too many buttons, switches and blinking lights. 

Adam has called Idaho home since the third grade and has had the family camcorder in his hand for even longer. He's proud to be a part of a team that is truly dedicated to providing the people of Idaho the news from the statehouse.

When he's not directing, he can be found playing around with his synthesizers (more switches and blinking lights) or hanging out with his cat Charlie.
