About Tucson
Our Journey Begins: 2007
Tucson was founded in 2007 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant city of Tucson, Arizona. We set out to bridge the gap between the community and accessible, reliable information about their beloved metropolis. Over the years, we've grown from a modest online publication to a thriving hub of local news and insights.
Milestones and Achievements:
- 2010: Tucson launched its interactive map feature, allowing users to explore the city's attractions and services like never before.
- 2012: We expanded our team and introduced multimedia content, including photo galleries and videos, enriching the user experience.
- 2015: The website underwent a significant redesign, focusing on user-friendliness and faster loading times.
- 2018: Tucson celebrated its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of serving the Tucson community with unbiased and accurate reporting.
- 2020: To keep up with the digital age, we integrated social media sharing options, making it easier for readers to engage with our content.
Our Purpose and Core Values:
At Tucson, we believe in the power of information to foster a stronger, more informed community. Our mission is to provide unbiased, accurate, and timely news and features that celebrate the unique culture and diverse neighborhoods of Tucson. We strive for excellence by upholding the following core values:
- Accuracy: Ensuring every fact is checked and every story is verified is our top priority.
- Unbiased Reporting: We present both sides of a story, allowing readers to form their own opinions.
- Community Engagement: Tucson aims to be more than just a news source; we want to be a platform for community dialogue and engagement.
- Inclusivity: Our content reflects the diversity of Tucson, ensuring all voices are heard.
Filling the Information Gap:
Tucson emerged from a realization that traditional media was failing to keep pace with the digital age. Many news sources were either too centralized or lacked the personal touch needed to engage local residents. We identified a need for a platform dedicated solely to Tucson, where every corner of the city's vibrant landscape would be explored and shared.
