About Tempe: Your Trusted News Hub
Our Journey
Tempe was founded in 2017 with a vision to bring unbiased and accurate news coverage directly to the hearts and minds of the community we call home—Tempe, Arizona. Inspired by the vibrant spirit of this city, our journey began as a passion project by a group of like-minded individuals who identified a gap in local news sources. We set out to create a digital haven where residents could stay informed, connected, and engaged with their city's ever-evolving story.
Over the years, Tempe has grown from a simple idea to a thriving online community. We've celebrated numerous milestones, including our first year of continuous operation in 2018, launching our mobile app in 2019, and expanding our team in 2020 to enhance our content delivery.
Our Purpose and Mission
At its core, Tempe is driven by a deep-rooted purpose: to empower the people of Tempe with knowledge and foster a sense of community. We aim to bridge the information gap often present in rapidly changing urban environments, ensuring that every resident has access to reliable, up-to-date news and insights about their city.
Our mission is to deliver unbiased reporting, fostering an informed citizenry. We strive for excellence by adhering to strict ethical standards, fact-checking every story, and providing a platform for diverse voices within the community.
Addressing the Information Gap
The internet, while a vast resource, often falls short in delivering hyper-local news that truly reflects the unique character of Tempe.

This is where Tempe steps in—as a dedicated digital space committed to celebrating and sharing the vibrant tapestry of this metropolis.
