About Phoenix
Our Story
Phoenix was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news platform for the city of Phoenix and its surrounding areas. We set out to fill an information gap that we identified in the local media landscape—a lack of comprehensive, unbiased, and reliable news coverage that truly represents the diverse communities within Phoenix. Our journey began as a small team of dedicated journalists and tech enthusiasts who believed in the power of storytelling to bring people together.
Over the years, Phoenix has grown from a modest start to become a prominent online news source, covering everything from local politics and community events to cultural trends and environmental initiatives. We've built a loyal reader base that appreciates our commitment to delivering accurate and insightful content.
