About Us: Scottsdale News
Our Story
Scottsdale News was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to online resource for all things Scottsdale. We are dedicated to delivering unbiased, accurate, and engaging news and information about this vibrant city and its surrounding areas. With every story, we strive to capture the unique spirit of Scottsdale—its culture, events, businesses, and people.
Our journey began as a small team of passionate local journalists and content creators who identified a gap in the online media landscape. We noticed that while Scottsdale had a thriving community with numerous stories worth sharing, there was a lack of centralized, reliable news sources specifically dedicated to this metro area. This inspiration led us to create a platform where locals could turn for up-to-date news, features, and insights tailored to their city.
