About Tempe: Your Trusted News Hub
Our Journey
Tempe was born in 2017 from a vision to bridge the information gap within the vibrant city of Tempe, Arizona. Founded by a team of passionate journalists and tech enthusiasts, we set out to create a digital space that would become the go-to source for accurate and unbiased news. Over the years, we've grown from a modest startup to a thriving online community, marking significant milestones along the way.
In 2018, we launched our first major series on local environmental initiatives, gaining recognition for our in-depth reporting. By 2020, Tempe had established itself as a trusted name in digital journalism, attracting a dedicated readership. We expanded our coverage to include diverse topics, from business and politics to culture and community events, ensuring every aspect of Tempe's tapestry was showcased.
