About Scottsdale
Our Journey and Mission
Scottsdale was born in 2017 from a vision to fill an information gap within the vibrant cityscape of Scottsdale, Arizona. Founded by a team of passionate local residents, we set out to create a one-stop news source that would not only keep pace with the city's rapid growth but also celebrate its unique character and diverse communities.
Over the years, we've celebrated numerous milestones, each marking a step towards our goal of becoming the go-to digital platform for Scottsdale news. From humble beginnings as a local blog to a fully-fledged news website, we've expanded our reach while staying true to our core values.
Our Purpose and Values
Scottsdale is dedicated to providing unbiased, accurate, and engaging news coverage that matters to the people of Scottsdale and its visitors. We strive for excellence in journalism by:
- Reliability: Ensuring all information is fact-checked and verified through credible sources.
- Balance: Presenting diverse perspectives and viewpoints on local issues.
- Transparency: Maintaining transparency in our reporting methods and sourcing.
- Community Engagement: Encouraging reader participation, feedback, and community storytelling.
Filling the Gap
Before Scottsdale, the digital landscape lacked a comprehensive resource dedicated solely to Scottsdale's unique story. We identified an opportunity to create a platform that goes beyond traditional news by showcasing the city's vibrant culture, dynamic businesses, and diverse communities. By focusing on what makes Scottsdale special, we aim to inspire both locals and visitors alike.
