About Us: Welcome to Glendale
Our Journey Begins in 2012
Glendale was founded in 2012 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant city of Glendale, Arizona. We embarked on this journey to fill an information gap that we identified within our community—a need for accurate, unbiased, and up-to-date local news coverage.
Our Story
Over the years, we've grown from a small team of dedicated journalists to a thriving online platform that keeps Glendalians informed and engaged. Our mission has always been to provide a voice for our community, shedding light on stories that matter most to its residents.
As Glendale expanded, so did our coverage, branching out to include not just local news but also in-depth features, opinion pieces, and community events. We've celebrated milestones along the way, including our 5th anniversary in 2017, where we were honored to be recognized as a leading local news website.
Our Purpose and Values
At Glendale, we strive to:
- Provide reliable, unbiased, and accurate information about our city, ensuring transparency and integrity in our reporting.
- Foster a sense of community by connecting residents through engaging content that reflects their daily lives and experiences.
- Empower citizens with knowledge, encouraging informed discussions on local issues and events.
Our core values are rooted in:
- Accuracy: We uphold the highest standards of journalistic integrity, verifying facts, and ensuring our stories are well-researched and reliable.

Filling the Gap
The internet is brimming with information, but not all sources are reliable or focused on local news. Recognizing this, we set out to create a dedicated platform that offers:
- Local Focus: While national and international news has its place, we believe local stories deserve equal attention, shaping the identity of our city.
- In-depth Analysis: We provide more than just headlines; our articles offer insights, interviews, and behind-the-scenes looks at the issues that matter to Glendalians.
- Community Voices: Glendale is a tapestry of diverse cultures and experiences, and we aim to amplify these voices through opinion pieces, profiles, and community events coverage.
