About Us: Scottsdale News
Our Journey Begins in 2012
Scottsdale was born out of a passion for providing an unbiased and reliable news source dedicated solely to the vibrant city of Scottsdale, Arizona. In 2012, we recognized a growing need for a digital platform that would keep residents and visitors informed about the latest developments, events, and stories shaping their community.

Over the years, Scottsdale has evolved from a small online publication to a trusted news hub. We've celebrated numerous achievements, including:
- Launching our first year with a focus on local business spotlights and community events.
- Expanding our team in 2014 to cover breaking news and in-depth investigative pieces.
- Achieving over one million page views in 2017, solidifying our position as the go-to Scottsdale news source.
