About Us: Willcox
Our Story
Willcox was founded in 2017 with a simple yet powerful vision: to become the go-to news platform for the vibrant community of Willcox and its surrounding areas. We started as a small team of passionate journalists and content creators, driven by a desire to bridge the gap between local residents and reliable, up-to-date information.
Over the years, we've grown from a modest online publication to a thriving news hub, covering a wide range of topics relevant to our community. Our journey has been marked by several significant milestones:
- 2018: We launched our official website, offering a user-friendly interface and a diverse array of content, from local events to in-depth investigative pieces.
- 2019: Willcox introduced its weekly print edition, bringing the latest news directly to residents' doorsteps.
- 2020: To adapt to the changing media landscape, we expanded our digital presence, implementing a modern content management system and improving our mobile optimization.
- 2022: We celebrated our 5th anniversary, solidifying our position as the leading local news source in Willcox.
Our Purpose and Values
At Willcox, we are dedicated to providing unbiased, accurate, and timely information about our beloved community. Our core values shape every aspect of our work:

Filling the Information Gap
The internet, while brimming with information, often lacks local, detailed news coverage tailored to specific communities. Traditional media outlets struggle to keep up with the digital pace, leaving a gap in reliable, hyper-local content. Willcox was born out of this need—to deliver high-quality, relevant news and insights directly to the fingertips of Willcox residents.
