About Us: Tucson News
Our Story
Tucson News was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to source for reliable and up-to-date information about Tucson, Arizona, and its vibrant community. We embarked on this journey to fill an information gap that we identified within the digital landscape of our beautiful city. Recognizing the power of the internet as a powerful tool for connection and knowledge sharing, we realized that Tucson deserved a dedicated platform where accurate news and stories could thrive.
Since our inception, we've strived to deliver high-quality content that reflects the diverse culture, rich history, and ever-evolving story of Tucson. Our journey has been marked by several key milestones:
- 2018: Launching our website with a robust team, we published our first articles, covering local events and community issues.
- 2019: Expanding our reach, we introduced regular features on unique Tucson businesses, cultural attractions, and hidden gems.
- 2020: In the midst of a global pandemic, we increased our efforts to provide timely updates and support for the Tucson community.
- 2021: Celebrating our 5th anniversary, we were honored to receive recognition from local readers for our contribution to the city's digital narrative.
