About Us: Buckeye News Network

Our Journey Begins

Buckeye was founded in 2017 with a vision to bridge the information gap within the Buckeye community and beyond. It all started as a passion project, driven by the belief that accurate and unbiased news is the backbone of any thriving society. Our journey began when we identified a need for a dedicated online platform to deliver the latest updates, insights, and stories that shape our town and its people.

Over the years, Buckeye has established itself as a trusted news source:

  • In 2019, we expanded our reach by introducing a weekly print edition, making high-quality journalism accessible to an even wider audience.
  • By 2020, our website had become a go-to resource for local news, achieving over 500,000 page views monthly.
  • In 2021, we launched our podcast series, The Buckeye Buzz, which has gained popularity among listeners seeking in-depth discussions on relevant topics.

Our Purpose and Mission

Buckeye is dedicated to providing timely, accurate, and unbiased news coverage, fostering an informed and engaged citizenry. Our core values are integrity, objectivity, and community engagement. We strive to:

  • Offer in-depth analysis and investigative reports on issues relevant to Buckeye's future development.
  • Ensure that news is not just reported but also placed within the context of our town's history and culture.
