About Tucson: Your Digital Window to the Sun City
Our Story
Tucson was founded in 2017 with a vision to bridge the information gap that often exists between vibrant communities and their digital representation. We recognized the rich tapestry of stories, events, and cultural offerings that Tucson had to share, but many online resources fell short in capturing its unique spirit. Thus, we set out to create a news website dedicated to this captivating metropolis.
Over the years, we've grown from a small team of passionate local journalists to a thriving digital community. Our journey has been marked by significant milestones, including breaking ground on our inaugural article in 2018 and achieving over a million page views in 2021, solidifying our position as a leading source of news and insights about Tucson.
Our Purpose and Mission
At Tucson, we strive to be the go-to digital hub for all things Tucson. Our mission is to deliver accurate, unbiased, and engaging content that informs, educates, and connects residents and visitors alike. We aim to fill the void left by traditional media by providing timely updates, in-depth analyses, and diverse perspectives on the issues and events shaping our city.
Our core values revolve around integrity, transparency, and community engagement. We believe in holding a mirror up to Tucson's complexities, celebrating its achievements, and shedding light on stories that often go unnoticed.
Filling the Information Gap
The internet has transformed how we consume news, but many online platforms fail to capture the local essence of a place like Tucson—its unique culture, diverse neighborhoods, and ever-evolving landscape. We aim to change this by delivering content that goes beyond headlines, delving into the heart of what makes Tucson tick. From highlighting local businesses and artists to covering political and environmental matters, our goal is to provide a comprehensive digital experience.
