About Scottsdale
Our Story
Scottsdale was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant and diverse community of Scottsdale, Arizona. We emerged from the recognition that while the city buzzed with activity, there was a lack of centralized, reliable information for residents and visitors alike. Our founding team, driven by a passion for storytelling and a deep connection to this metropolis, set out to fill this gap.
Over the years, we've grown from a small initiative to a thriving online platform, marking significant milestones along the way. From covering local events and community news to in-depth profiles of Scottsdale's unique culture, our content has evolved to meet the needs of our audience.
Our Purpose and Core Values
At its core, Scottsdale is dedicated to providing unbiased, accurate, and engaging news coverage that celebrates the spirit of Scottsdale. We strive for excellence in journalism by adhering to strict ethical standards:
- Unbiased Reporting: We commit to presenting all sides of a story, ensuring fairness and objectivity in our coverage.
- Accuracy: Our team fact-checks rigorously to deliver information that is timely and precise.
- Reliability: We aim to be the most trusted source for Scottsdale news by upholding the highest standards of journalistic integrity.
Filling an Information Gap
The internet, while a vast repository of knowledge, often falls short when it comes to hyper-local news. Scottsdale, with its unique blend of lifestyle, business, and cultural offerings, deserved a dedicated platform where residents could stay informed and connected. We identified this as our opportunity—to create a space that not only informs but also engages and empowers the community.
