About Phoenix

Our Journey Begins: 2010

Phoenix was founded in 2010 with a vision to become the go-to news platform for the bustling city of Phoenix, Arizona. We embarked on this journey to fill an information gap that we noticed in the digital landscape—a lack of comprehensive, unbiased, and reliable local news coverage. Our founders believed that every resident deserves access to accurate and up-to-date information about their city, fostering a more informed and engaged community.

Over the years, Phoenix has become a trusted source for Phoenix locals and visitors alike. Here are some key milestones:

  2. 2015: Expanded our team to include dedicated reporters covering diverse beats, ensuring comprehensive city coverage.
  3. 2017: Introduced interactive data visualizations, bringing statistics to life and enhancing the reader experience.
  4. 2019: Celebrated a decade of service with a redesign focused on user-friendly navigation and improved accessibility.

Our Purpose and Core Values:

At Phoenix, we are driven by the purpose of empowering the community through knowledge. We strive to:

  • Provide unbiased reporting, ensuring every story is presented with integrity and objectivity.

Filling the Information Void:

In an era dominated by rapid information diffusion, we recognize the power—and potential pitfalls—of digital media.
