About Phoenix
Our Journey Begins: 2010
Phoenix was founded in 2010 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant city of Phoenix, Arizona. We embarked on this journey driven by the belief that accurate and unbiased reporting is the lifeblood of any thriving community. Over the years, we've grown from a modest online publication to a respected and influential media outlet.
