The CDA Giant: Media Without an Agenda
In today’s digital landscape, media is often dominated by agenda-driven narratives, leaving communities yearning for something authentic, unbiased, and truly representative. Mark Cuda, a serial entrepreneur with a bold vision to change the media game. Through CDA Giant, Mark is creating a media platform in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, that prioritizes local stories, arts, culture, and real community connections—free from the divisive influences of mainstream outlets.
From Business to Media: Mark Cuda’s Unconventional Path
Mark’s journey into media wasn’t a traditional one. With a background in business, sales, and startup leadership—including roles at companies that have seen major exits—he built a career in marketing, operations, and executive leadership. However, despite his success, something was missing.
His passion had always been storytelling, creativity, and media. From childhood, he had an affinity for filmmaking, music, and digital content creation. But growing up in an environment that discouraged artistic pursuits, he put those dreams on hold and followed a corporate path. After years in the business world, he found himself unfulfilled, yearning to create something more meaningful.
When he moved to North Idaho, he immediately recognized the region’s unique character. He saw an opportunity to build a media company that would not only tell local stories but also create a platform that fosters unity and independent thought.
The Mission Behind CDA Giant
CDA Giant is not just another news outlet. It is a media ecosystem designed to promote connection, empowerment, and storytelling that serves the people. Unlike legacy media, which often pushes ideological biases, CDA Giant is committed to media without agenda—a principle that resonates across political and social lines.
At its core, CDA Giant focuses on:
- Local Stories – Highlighting the people, businesses, and events shaping North Idaho
- Arts and Culture – Showcasing the creative minds and talent of the region
- Non-Partisan News – Providing balanced reporting without ideological spin
- Community Engagement – Hosting events, workshops, and networking opportunities
- Independent Media Creation – Building a media network that spans publications, podcasts, and video content
Mark’s vision extends beyond news. He aims to create an ecosystem where creatives, entrepreneurs, and businesses can collaborate, innovate, and thrive. Whether it’s through original comics, business features, or local storytelling, CDA Giant is filling a gap in media that has long been ignored.
Bridging Divides and Uniting Communities
One of Mark’s biggest priorities is bringing people together, regardless of political or ideological beliefs. He recognizes that modern media often exacerbates division, creating echo chambers that reinforce existing biases. Instead of feeding into this cycle, CDA Giant is built to highlight common ground and encourage constructive conversations.
His approach is simple: focus on the positive. While mainstream media thrives on controversy and fear, CDA Giant seeks to amplify stories of innovation, resilience, and community-driven change. This approach doesn’t mean ignoring challenges—it means addressing them with a solutions-oriented mindset rather than sensationalism.
Expanding the Vision: What’s Next for CDA Giant?
While CDA Giant has already gained traction with its print publications, newsletters, and online content, Mark has much bigger plans. Future expansions include:
- Giant TV – A streaming platform featuring locally produced shows, interviews, and entertainment
- Publishing Initiatives – More original comics, children’s content, and independent storytelling
- A Media Hub in North Idaho – Creating a collaborative space for creatives and journalists
- Strategic Business Partnerships – Connecting local businesses with meaningful media exposure
Through these initiatives, CDA Giant is positioning itself as a powerhouse for independent media, not just in North Idaho but as a model for communities across the country.
