Our Story
Scottsdale News was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to online resource for all things Scottsdale.

Since our launch, we've strived to deliver high-quality content that informs, engages, and connects residents, visitors, and businesses alike.
Our journey began as a small but passionate team of writers, editors, and designers who shared a love for Scottsdale and a desire to share its unique story with the world. Over the years, we've grown exponentially, expanding our reach and becoming an integral part of the local fabric.

Filling an Information Gap
The internet, while brimming with information, often falls short when it comes to providing localized, in-depth news coverage. Traditional media outlets have struggled to keep up with the digital age, leaving a gap in reliable, hyperlocal content. Scottsdale News aims to bridge this gap by offering a dedicated platform that focuses exclusively on our city's unique character and its ever-evolving story.
