About Us: Tucson News
Our Journey Begins
Tucson News was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to source for news and information about Tucson, Arizona. We aim to fill an information gap that we identified in the local media landscape by offering a dedicated platform focused solely on our vibrant city. What started as a passion project has since grown into a thriving online community, driven by a team of dedicated journalists and content creators.
