About Us: Phoenix News
Our Journey Begins in 2017
Welcome to Phoenix News, an online news platform dedicated to keeping the people of Phoenix and its surrounding areas informed and engaged. Founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to source for local news, we have since grown into a trusted community hub.
Our Story
The idea behind Phoenix News stemmed from a growing need for a reliable and unbiased news source specifically tailored to the vibrant city of Phoenix. We recognized a gap in the market where traditional media often overlooked the unique stories and issues that matter most to our diverse community. With this in mind, we set out to create a digital space that would bridge this gap.
Over the years, we've celebrated numerous milestones:
- 2018: Launch of our interactive map feature, allowing readers to explore local businesses and events.
- 2019: Introduction of in-depth investigative reports, shedding light on important community matters.
- 2020: Expansion of our team and increase in user engagement, thanks to our dedicated readership.
- 2022: We hit a significant milestone—over one million page views, solidifying our position as the leading local news platform.
Our Purpose and Mission
At Phoenix News, we strive to be more than just a news website; we aim to empower our community through knowledge. Our core values revolve around accuracy, fairness, and transparency. We believe in delivering unbiased, fact-checked content that reflects the diverse voices within Phoenix.
Our mission is to provide timely, relevant, and accurate information on matters that shape our city's future. We seek to foster a sense of civic engagement by keeping residents informed, connected, and empowered to make a positive impact.
Filling an Information Gap
The internet has transformed how we consume news, but many online sources fail to provide the in-depth analysis and local perspective our community deserves. Phoenix News fills this void by offering a curated selection of stories, interviews, and opinion pieces that cover everything from city politics and development to cultural events and community initiatives.

We take immense pride in our commitment to journalistic integrity.
