About Us: Tucson News
Our Story
Tucson News was founded in 2017 with a simple yet powerful vision: to become the go-to source for accurate, unbiased, and engaging news coverage of Tucson, Arizona, and its surrounding areas. We believe that staying informed is not just a privilege but a responsibility, especially when it comes to understanding the vibrant tapestry of our community.
Born out of a growing need for reliable local news, our journey began as a small team dedicated to filling an information gap in the digital landscape. We recognized that while the internet offers a wealth of knowledge, there was a distinct lack of centralized, trustworthy sources for Tucson-specific news and insights.
Mission and Values
Our mission is to empower the residents of Tucson and visitors alike by providing them with timely, relevant, and high-quality content. We strive for excellence in journalism by adhering to strict ethical standards:
- Unbiased Reporting: We commit to presenting all sides of a story, ensuring our readers make informed decisions without bias or influence.
- Accuracy: Verifying facts and figures is at the heart of our operation, guaranteeing that every piece of information shared is accurate and reliable.
- Community Engagement: Tucson News aims to be more than just a news source; we want to engage with our audience, fostering an open dialogue and encouraging participation.
Filling the Gap

Traditional media outlets struggle to keep pace with the digital world, while online sources vary widely in their credibility.
