About Glendale: Your Trusted News Source
Our Story
Glendale was born in 2017 from a vision to bridge the information gap that often exists within bustling cities like ours. Founded by a team of dedicated journalists and tech-savvy entrepreneurs, we set out to create a one-stop news source that would not only keep residents informed but also foster a sense of community.
The idea for Glendale originated from a simple yet powerful realization: the internet, while vibrant and bustling with information, often lacks reliable and accurate local news. We aimed to change that by curating a tapestry of stories that reflect the soul of our city—its people, events, challenges, and triumphs.
