About Us: Scottsdale News
Our Story
Scottsdale News was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to source for unbiased and accurate information about Scottsdale, Arizona. We embarked on this journey to fill an information gap that we noticed in the digital landscape of local news. With the bustling metropolis of Scottsdale constantly evolving, we aimed to create a platform that keeps residents and visitors informed, engaged, and connected.
Over the years, our website has grown from a modest initiative to a vibrant community hub, marking several milestones along the way. From covering local events and business updates in 2017 to expanding our reach to include in-depth features and interviews in 2019, we have strived to bring a unique perspective to Scottsdale's narrative.

Addressing the Information Gap
The internet is a vast resource, yet we identified a distinct lack of reliable, local news focused specifically on Scottsdale. Many national outlets cover Arizona, but they often overlook the unique characteristics and stories that make Scottsdale a vibrant and diverse community. This gap inspired us to create a website dedicated to showcasing the soul of Scottsdale through compelling narratives and insightful analysis.
