About Us: Tucson News

Our Journey Begins in 2012

Tucson News was founded in 2012 with a vision to become the go-to source for accurate and unbiased news coverage of Tucson, Arizona, and its surrounding areas. We recognized a growing need for a dedicated platform that would keep the community informed about local events, issues, and stories that shape their daily lives.

Milestones and Achievements:

  • 2015: Tucson News launched its mobile app, making real-time news access more convenient for readers on the go.
  • 2017: We expanded our team and began producing in-depth feature articles, exploring various aspects of Tucson's rich culture and history.
  • 2019: The website underwent a comprehensive redesign, improving user experience and search functionality.

Our Purpose and Core Values:

At Tucson News, we strive to be the voice of the community, delivering timely and reliable information that matters to residents and visitors alike. Our core values are rooted in integrity, accuracy, and a deep respect for the diverse tapestry of Tucson's culture. We believe in empowering our readers with knowledge, fostering a sense of connection, and promoting an informed and engaged citizenry.

Filling the Information Gap:

The internet, while brimming with information, often falls short when it comes to providing reliable, locally-focused news. Many national media outlets lack the resources to dedicate significant coverage to smaller cities like Tucson. This gap inspired us to create a platform that would bridge this divide, offering a dedicated space for local news and stories that might otherwise go unnoticed.
