The South Idaho Press was a consolidation and successor of the Burley Bulletin, which began in 1904 and the Burley Herald. [5]

The South Idaho Press was merged with the Times-News in August 2008. The office and printing operation were shut down, with some of the editorial, advertising and circulation staff remaining as a bureau of the Twin Falls-based Times-News.
