About Tucson: Your Digital Window to the Heart of Arizona
Our Story
Tucson was founded in 2017 with a simple yet powerful vision: to become the go-to digital hub for all things Tucson. We recognized a growing need for a news website that not only keeps residents informed but also celebrates the unique culture and vibrant community of this beautiful city.
From our humble beginnings, we've grown into a dedicated team of storytellers and digital enthusiasts driven by a passion for Tucson. Over the years, we've marked significant milestones: launching our first breaking news coverage in 2018, expanding our team in 2019 to include diverse voices, and achieving over a million page views in 2021, solidifying our position as a trusted source of local information.
Our Purpose and Values
At Tucson, we strive to bridge the digital divide by providing unbiased, accurate, and engaging news content that reflects the diverse tapestry of Tucson's residents. Our core values are rooted in:

Filling the Information Gap
The internet, while a vast resource, often lacks localized, reliable news sources tailored to specific communities.
